Are you talking about Windows ? Because on most other platforms all of the
features you mention are outside of the scope of the REBOL shell. Both
the features and the control codes listed are inaccessible to REBOL, and
would have to implemented within the terminal emulation client (xterm, or
whatever else you use).
As for Windows: please send the suggestions to [feedback--rebol--com]
