Console2 how to repeat last command?

Question

Is there any way how to repeat last executed command (like up arrow does is cmd.exe) in Console2?

The manual does say: Windows (CR+LF) - If selected the copy operation will convert the carriage return using the Windows convention. I don't know what that actually means but may be it will help — Dave, Sep 14 '12 at 12:39
Yeah, I tried walkthough in this article: http://www.instructables.com/id/%22Drop-Down%22%2c-Quake-style-command-prompt-for-Window/?ALLSTEPS and it sort of stopped working (probably). — Marek Osvald, Sep 14 '12 at 13:50

You have to go to Settings -> Hotkeys and disable Use scroll lock for scrolling. This worked fine for me!

This fixed the case where arrow keys (both up/down and left/right) cause scrolling instead of keypresses being passed on to the actual interpreter. Thanks! – efdee Mar 03 '15 at 15:29

If it was working previously, and suddenly stopped, you may have hit the scroll lock key.

I have had this issue a couple of times now and I would have never figured out. Is the first time that I find a usage for the scroll lock key, even if it is annoying. – Igor Rodriguez Sep 22 '15 at 12:56

[I stand corrected, as per comments, ctrl + ↑ works]

~~From the developers themselves (at least, their source code):~~

NOTE: Console is NOT a shell. Therefore, it does not implement shell features like...command history

Ha! Nevermind, i figured it out. All you have to do is press **Ctrl+Up**. Weird that the developers say the application does not support this function though. – Marek Osvald Sep 14 '12 at 12:46

Haha, well, to be fair the help file is usually the last thing I remember to update too. – PatKilg Sep 14 '12 at 12:48

You *make* a help file?! I just assume everyone will know by magic :) – Dave Sep 14 '12 at 12:49

I make a help file because **I** forget the s**t I code sometimes. – PatKilg Sep 14 '12 at 12:59
I just discovered that **Shift + ↑** works as well. – Marek Osvald Sep 18 '12 at 09:49
Shift+up did not work for me. @bitmind had the solution for me... – Per Hornshøj-Schierbeck Aug 26 '14 at 08:55

I had the same issue and none of the instructions above worked for me.

In my case noticed that in Settings -> Hotkeys UP and DOWN were assigned to "Scroll Buffer row up" and "Scroll Buffer row down", so I assigned something else to these Commands (ie: Crtl + UP, Crtl + DOWN) and the UP and DOWN keys started working again to navigate the history.

As a work around, in the Settings - Behavior screen under Copy and Paste you can select Copy on Select. I know not ideal but may be the closest you can get.
