in nominal shell, we can use the command line short key such as CTRL
+P (previous command) CTRL+H (backspace) CTRL+ K (delete all the the
end) CTRL + A (go to the begning of the command line.

In tclsh/tcl, when I debug a few lines of scripts, I find it is very
unconvenient withou this kind of short key. so my question is
straigthforward, Is this a bug or feature? Can this kind of thing
done in tclshl? If NOT, is there any work around tips ? any
suggestions?

It would be nice if tclsh had a built-in cross-platform readline type
capability.
You could try using 'rlwrap'.
I start my tclsh as
%rlwrap tclsh
and then all the arrow keys CTRL +A etc seem to do the right thing.

If you have X or other windowing
system available, I recommend
tkcon. Lots of convenience features.
