I have never felt the need for tools like these, I use the mouse to edit the text on the screen (changing history), I then double click to the right of the line and click send which resubmits the text.The idea that any text on the screen may be used to form a new command is very powerful, but takes some getting used to.
the " command works with the grain here. It brings text on the screen that may be further away closer.
