Add Command History about vimux HOT 3 CLOSED

I'm a little worried this would be bulky but if you want to put together an example of how it would work I would be on board.

Hm, I haven't thought about the details, but here are some ideas...

Step 1:

• save every command you execute to a list (this is trivial)
• when opening a prompt: up/down selects a command from the list. I guess vim's input() is not powerful enough for this. ctrl-p uses buffers that look like the input prompt to add additinal functionality. All in all, this is more work. Maybe vim offers already some built-in ways to do this.

Step 2:

• save the list of commands on disk for permanent use.

Alternative sources for the commands:

• use .bash_history (or similar files) as command history. But there is a lot of stuff in there that you'll never use from within vim.
• let the user define a list of commands in his .vimrc.

In any case, the input() prompt needs to be replaced by something more powerful.

I thought more about this feature and I'm worried that is going a little too far off the feature set that vimux needs. What might be a good idea is to add another vimux-specific plugin that implements this feature.
