Command line history does not work for me (emacs mode)

[Etan Reisner]

Are you expecting ctrl-p to recall the last message you sent? Because if
so that will not work. There's a functionality level problem with that
idea.

The keybindings are a GTK+ feature and are operating on the text area.

The sent message history is a pidgin feature that GTK+ is not even aware
of let alone can interact with.

ctrl-p should take you to the previous line in a multi-line message though.
