Need a way to impliment arrow keys for command history and cursor placement or use Magnify Glass

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type a few commands.
2. Wish you had an up arrow key to go back in the command history

also
1. Type a command with a typo in it
2. Wish you had a left arrow key to correct the typo instead of backspacing all 
the way.
The iPhone magnify glass would be cool here too.
Could you work a shift backspace in here?  Would be great with caps lock.
No idea about a right arrow tho.
Magnify would work best.

Tab completion would also be very cool

The current vt100 build has arrow keys, though it's difficult to repeatedly hit 
them quickly.  It also has tab 
completion.  Managing to use the magnifier would be cool, but I get the feeling 
it would interfere with the 
gesture menu.

I am marking this as Started since it is supported in the vt100 branches with 
the pie
chart thing.  Will mark as fixed when vt100 support is moved to the main 
branch.

Actually, this is a duplicate of 17 (kind of), and i don't think we'll again 
support
the magnifying glass since it isn't clear how it should behave (though maybe it 
could
emulate an X-windows mouse or something).
