How can I select previously written text in my console?

In the videos Kenneth is able to select previously written code in the console in order to edit it. When I try to edit code that I've previously written my curser refuses to move to the text I want to select. The only way I've been able edit code I've written is to delete all the code in front of it.

You can use the up arrow key to access previously written code from the console, you can then use the left/right arrow keys to navigate the cursor and edit that code. Hope that helps!
