It's a common task to do something in rofi (open an app, copy a password, calculate a math expression) and then soon realize that you need that same action again.

It would be cool to have all my entered commands be remembered so that I can scroll through them with Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down.

I see the behavior in the following way:

• rofi starts, input box is empty and ready to be filled
• Press Ctrl+Up to fill the input box with the last submitted command in rofi (regardless of the mode)
• One more press of Ctrl+Up fills the input box with next-to-last submitted command
• Pressing Ctrl+Down fills with the last command again
• One more press of Ctrl+Down clears the input box
• Type a command, press Enter, rofi is closed and the command is appended to the history file.
