[v2] Add Arrow UP / DOWN in the free version to recall past command from the local storage history

[mathieucarbou]

Why adding this feature in the free version ?

Because IMO this a really basic feature. For example in an OSS project, to build a remote weight scale for beehives, in partnership with a big M2M company (https://beelance.carbou.me), a web console is used to communicate with the model (AT commands). There are a few other projects that have use cases with a command terminal and communication. These projects have to remain free because they are community programs serving / helping people (in this case beekeepers).

The issue with not having this feature in the free version is that for such project, this is a real blocker.

The pro version cannot be used, and if the free version does not have it, then another lib will be used (so no promotion of this project).

So I am creating this issue as a feature request in order to log this use case and requirement and see with you if this is possible to get a WebSerial free version for OSS projects with a command history.

FYI here is how I implemented it in a fork: https://github.com/mathieucarbou/WebSerialLite/blob/main/frontend/index.html#L213-L361

I will add it to the pro version (and I will also add you to the private repo so that you can grab the changes).

But this issue is more about porting it to the OSS version tool....

I'll pull your feature request to OSS version too in a few days.

Thanks! I have it implemented in the pro version already ;-) Works like a charm!
