I would like to be able to repeat the last distances, dimensions and diameters entered using the keyboard. Ideally, I would like to use the down arrow key. I don’t need to move the drawing using the arrow keys.
Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback, and I have logged this requirement RH-88696 to our development engineers.

Nice to see that this is finally taken into consideration! I hope that the developers will be able to implement it in Rhino 9!
It was requested numerous times, such like here:
Another example clearly showing the advantage of having hovering options next to the mouse pointer: Running the ! _Fillet should display a vertical list with the (10 or whatever amount is chosen in the options) most recent radius values used within the current session, so that the user could quickly pick one of them without the need to manually enter the value in the Command line. This is especially useful for those who use a 3d mouse, but also for everyone else. Not to mention that it’s a nice …
Currently, Rhino is in something like a NURBS-crisis. Alias made a huge progress in the past 20 years, unlike Rhino’s main NURBS surfacing and control point editing tools that are nearly unchanged since Rhino 2 (with a few minor exceptions). The last few versions of Rhino focused more on non-NURBS stuff, such like tools for Sub-D, 3d meshes, ShrinkWrap etc. While these are nice additions, the NURBS tools are left in the corner.
Both, “Blend surface” and “Match surface” lack a huge amount of fun…
It’s pity that Rhino 8 will be so limited in actual progress of its NURBS modeling and editing tools.
Here is a detailed topic with many suggestions about “Blend surface” and “Math surface” that are ignored for 5 years in a row by the “McNeel” team and still not implemented in the latest Rhino 8 WIP:
“Blend surface” lacks “Refine match” option similar to the one found in “Match surface”. Huge, huge, HUGE mistake.
“Blend surface” even can’t produce end handles that match the direction of th…
Supplement: This option has been integrated into AutoCAD for ages…

Would be amazing if this mechanic was extended to the command line for command history generally with the up arrow - as was requested here :
was thinking it’s be nice if we could press the up arrow to go back through the command line like a terminal typically does.
(Overall it’s probably less useful if one has developed their environment with a lexicon of shortcuts - but there are a lot of cases where one flipping back and forth between several recent tools and having them “close at hand” would be nice)
