I’d like to use `Ctrl-p` to load previous commands at the REPL prompt. I assume the correct approach is to modify Keyboard Shortcuts, but I can’t seem to identify the corresponding command.

Things I’ve tried: Searched shortcuts for “up”; none of the commands seem relevant:

I also tried looking at the keyboard debugger log, but to no avail. Thanks!

Check out the `terminal.integrated.commandsToSkipShell` setting (which actually has your exact example):

Hit `Ctrl-,` to access the settings and search for the ID I mentioned above.

I wasn’t sure which setting to add to the list, so I added every one that looked relevant to my settings.json. Behavior is unchanged.

You want

```julia
    "terminal.integrated.commandsToSkipShell": [
        "language-julia.interrupt",
        "-workbench.action.quickOpen"
    ],

```

just like the description of that setting suggests.

Thanks…apologies for my obtuseness. Much obliged.
