The 8.0 IDLDE has some things you might like, such as control+space for
command completion (enter "widg", press control+space and a list of all
matching routines will pop up; this works in the editor too). Pressing
the tab key will cause the IDLDE to go through the command history and
recall a matching command. There's also the command history view which
shows all recent commands and allows you to drag'n'drop to the command
line or double click them to immediately execute.

Cheers,
Doug
