39 - Edit box history without alt

Would like to see the option to go through the edit box history by just using the up and down arrows, without pressing alt. Coming from other chat addons and just got so used to that feature.

Saving the last 5-10 edit box history commands between sessions would be nice too, but not really all that important.

    Hm, I know Prat and PhanxChat both still do it. Looking at some of PhanxChat code it looks like these functions still work...

    if key == "UP" then
	return IncrementHistorySelection(self, -1)
elseif key == "DOWN" then
	return IncrementHistorySelection(self, 1)

    And also...

    editBox:SetAltArrowKeyMode(not self.db.EnableArrows)
if not history[editBox] then
	hooksecurefunc(editBox, "AddHistoryLine", AddHistoryLine)
	editBox:HookScript("OnArrowPressed", OnArrowPressed)
	history[editBox] = {}
	index[editBox] = 1

    Don't know if that actually helps or not, but I didn't want to just post the whole modules lua. I don't know if there is like a coder's etiquette or anything like that lol. It's on GitHub if you need to look at more.

    Moving up and down without pressing ALT was broken by blizzard many patches ago with no workaround to my knowledge.
