One thing I really love about using the Lein nREPL is that I can just go to the last evaluated Clojure expression by pressing the up-arrow key. Is there anyway to do something similar in the CIDER nREPL?
You're looking for the function cider-repl-previous-input which by default is bound to M-p or for cider-repl-backward-input which is bound to C-p. Look at their documentation to find out how they differ with regards to a search pattern.
And of course the corresponding cider-repl-next-input (M-n) and cider-repl-forward-input (C-n) are available to you, too.
