I found it irritating that if you run one command 5 times you have to press the arrow key 6 times to get the previous command. Is it some way to change this behavior?

That’s not a feature of iTerm but of your shell’s history feature. If you use the default Bash you can put this into your
~/.bashrc:The first line will tell Bash to ignore duplicated and empty history entries. The second line will merge the history of multiple open sessions (e.g. in multiple tabs or windows). The thirs line will make sure that the history is preserved after each command.
