Not much can be done in this case. The Eclipse console in which the REPL is run is basic. It doesn't allow key listener and doesn't support special keys.
There are more possibilities of improvement in the Scala Interpreter view http://scala-ide.org/docs/user/features/scalainterpreter.html or the upcoming worksheet #1000865.
