Table 7: Command-Line Editing Keys (continued)
Command History Keys
The CLI maintains two separate command histories. The first command history
maintains only Exec mode commands. The second history maintains all commands
entered in any of the configuration modes. The appropriate history will automatically
be restored as you transition between Global Configuration mode and Exec mode.
Table 8 on page 69 defines the keys related to command history. Arrow keys functions
only on ANSI-compatible terminals, such as VT100s.
