The main thing I want is the ability to hit the up arrow key to
scroll through prior commands.

That by itself is trivial: add <key-up> and <key-down> as bindings for history-previous and history-next. But that disables the ability to use those keys to move up and down in multiline commands. Shell cannot be exactly the same as Terminal because it is statements rather than line oriented.

Shift- Control- or even Alt- Up/Down could be used*.

*Assuming not in use already -- an option to get a list of current binding sorted by key would be nice.
