Colloquy up and down

On a fresh Colloquy install, you will be surprised that the up and down arrows do not bring back the history of your chats. In reality it does, but you have to hold alt while pressing the arrows. This is so that you can move around your input field freely just with keyboard.

The problem is that there is no option in the preference GUI to change this behaviour and you have to resort to the command line, as pointed out here. I hope this will change in the future.
