MDI feedback: command history for mdi and return to send

[jschoch]

up/down arrow to navigate command history in MDI window would be very nice. Return does not send so you have to click the button. return should send the current command.

Have you used Mach3? In Mach3 a history list pops up when the MDI is given focus. I kind of like that since it is hidden when not needed. Perhaps try to emulate that?

i have not used mach3.

I don't think it needs to be a window with a list, but it would really be great to run small blocks of gcode and have them as single items in the history that can run whole. so something like:

--- 1
g00 X0, Y0
--- 2
g00 Z1
--- 3
g01 F100 
g91 X10
g91 y-3
g91 x-10
--- *current*
m5

so item "--- 3" would run all 4 lines.

Simple command history added to latest alpha release along with a number of other improvements.
