Command mode

[CptPotato]

I thought about whether or not it would be useful to have some kind of command mode or window where it's possible to enter multiple : commands with a history of previously executed commands and their results. This could also be a place to display log messages in-editor.

Ui-wise this is a rough mockup of what I had in mind:

Though I don't know if this would be of much help. Executing multiple commands in a row isn't very cumbersome and :log-open takes care of looking at the log already.

This is similar to the command-line window in vim which is a modifiable buffer.

I don't think the logs should be there, though I coud see a use for a command which does not change the current file (equivalent to :messages in vim).

Another feature I miss is the partial history search behavior of readline with arrow up and down:

Maybe this was mentioned in another discussion?
