feature request: allow to execute copied jq in the same json

This would come very handy when exploring large jsons. I'm not sure if this has been already requested.

Basically, with a combination of keys, jless would copy the current jq path and exec it into the current json. You would be able then to explore the json as you wish. Pressing 'q' would toggle off the current applied jq path.

This feature sounds like a big lift, but it really would be amazing.

Anything that makes it less necessary to leave and re-enter jless would make the program just that much more essential of a dev tool.
