Nobody should be using up arrows to get previous commands in a terminal or shell. You have to move your hand and its linear complexity in keystrokes. Use ctrl+p (for low n) or ctrl+r. Use a real shell or history manager (fish, fzf, atuin) for ctrl+r.

@mitchellh my right pinky can find up arrow without any involvement from the brain. To press ctrl+p I need for the brain to switch context...

@fabrixxm Only for like a week. My first manager unplugged my mouse and unbound the arrow keys and escape key and told me to "figure it out" and it only took me a couple weeks.

@mitchellh It would took me a day to bring my mouse and keyboard and a week to tell the manager what to unplug from himself. Honestly. What kind of hellscape is this?
"I find that 14" crt monitors are best for programmers, so from now on you are all forced to use 14" crts"
"Blasting k-pop at ears-bleeding make me 10% faster at bash, so get used"
"640K are enough for everybody!" (no, wait...)

@fabrixxm @mitchellh I mean, if everybody, including companies, especially companies, were only allowed 640K of RAM, we wouldn't have LLMs, and that would be an improvement.

I don't remember whether 640K were enough for dr Sbaitso, but at least ELIZA should work fine, so we would still have AI chatbots, but only the quality ones.
