Describe the solution you'd like?
I have a multi-line entry in my history. I want to be able to navigate to it and edit it, all using only the keyboard.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
To navigate to the entry in my history I press UP. Then I want to edit one of the lines other than the last. But if I press UP again, it will go to the previous history entry. How do I use the keyboard to "escape" from history navigation and go into "editing" navigation so that the arrows move my cursor up and down in stead of navigating history?
Esc does not work. Tab sort of works, but it also triggers suggestion pop-ups which I then need to escape again.
