You can view the command history in a scrollable command history window, and select the command to modify or re-execute from those displayed in the window. To activate the command history window press PgUp or PgDn at the command line. A window will appear in the upper right corner of the screen, with the command you most recently executed marked with a highlight. (If you just finished re-executing a command from the history, then the next command in sequence will be highlighted.)

The display is not circular as it is at the prompt; it has a fixed beginning and end. The Ctrl-D (delete from history) key works within the history window as it does at the command line.

Once you have selected a command in the history window, press Enter to execute it immediately, or Ctrl-Enter to move the line to the prompt for editing (you cannot edit the line directly in the history window).

You can bring up a “filtered” history window by typing some characters on the command line, then pressing PgUp or PgDn. Only those commands matching the typed characters will be displayed in the window.

See Popup Windows for information on customizing window position, size, and color.
