IPython Console correction in multi-line input
When entering a command in IPython console using multi-line input, like creating an instance of an object with several parameters, I might enter the parameters on separate lines like:
In [1]: post = Post("post title",
...: "Author name",
...: "This is the content and it is the last parameter");
However, while entering the post content I realize that I mistyped something in the post title on line 1 of my multi-line input. Is there a way to go back and correct a previous line?
Alternatively, is there a way to simply abandon the input altogether and stop entering the command without python attempting to interpret my partially entered command?

Have you tried holding the left arrow key? Or hitting the up arrow? I'm pretty sure at least one of those works in IPython.

Also Ctrl-C should cancel your input.

I have no idea what I was doing wrong before - but the arrow keys do allow me to move the cursor anywhere and edit the input.
