Repeat previous commands

You certainly know that you can repeat the last command by pressing Enter or the spacebar.

However, many people don’t know that you can use the Up arrow to scroll through your previous commands in backwards order.

For example, suppose that you use the following commands:

• LINE
• ARC
• CIRCLE

Then you can do the following:

• Press the Up arrow once to display the CIRCLE command on the command line and in the Dynamic Input tooltip.
• Press the UP arrow twice to display the ARC command on the command line and in the Dynamic Input tooltip.
• Press the UP arrow three times display the LINE command on the command line and in the Dynamic Input tooltip.

When you see the command that you want to use, just press Enter to execute it.
