API console has no command history.

[Will Thompson]

It would be lovely if I could hit Up or Ctrl-Up or something and get at previous commands, much as I can at the shell.

The up arrow can't be used since gtk catches it for moving between control.
Pretty much the same problem with using spacebar as play/pause.
About Ctrl+up... that looks like a good option. I'll look into it.

You should be able to catch the up arrow by catching key-pressed events from the text entry widget; it's only when you want to use a standard GTK key combination globally that you'll have problems, it's perfectly okay to catch a key press on the currently focused widget. You can see an example of this in the EventViewer.

I was glady wrong on this issue :)
You can use the up/down keys to search through the previous commands history.
