Added command history to prompt via up/down on the keyboard #28

Hey guys check it out. I added a command history via pressing up/down on the keyboard when you're in the prompt.

It only keeps the history per-page for now but it would be neat if it could remember your history across requests...maybe by saving to a cookie? That's phase 2. :)

Awesome! :) Thank you very much!

Maybe the best way would be to store the commands in a array inside the ruby backend and ask for autocompletion via AJAX. Or maybe a hybrid between this (ask for the history the first time, and the rest do it via javascript). This way the history would persist between requests.

I'll check it out later. Thanks again!

Awesome work, Rob! This one was on my todo list too. :)

Sweet! I've been using this locally and have started taking it for granted. It's really handy!
