Right now, Ctrl+Arrow is needed to navigate the chat history. This is, of course, to avoid problems with multi-line messages, where the regular arrow key behavior shouldn't be overridden.

Yet arrow-keys naturally stop working at the beginning and end of the entered text.

It would be feasible to trigger the history-up and history-down actions either if Ctrl is pressed or if the cursor cannot move any further.

But I'm not sure if that behavior would be intuitive.

This is actually really, really convenient.
