how to use arrow keys to edit command in gdb command window?

While using gdb in 'layout src' window mode (command at the bottom and source at the top), often I want to go back some characters to modify the current command I'm editing in the gdb command window. But pressing left or right key just moves the source window. How can I do it?

You need to change the input focus, see here for details:

Specifically, you want focus cmd. After this you should be able to use the arrow keys to scroll through the GDB history.
