In your example, independent of which ui you use, you could just type
!very (or !v) to get that history item without ever having to hit the up
key, giving one of the handiest history behaviors present in lyntin,
tintin, and most unix shells.

I find that with the tkui, I use a mix of the two methods, depending on
how far back the command is and how unique its beginning is.
