A way to get back to a listing? #27

Thank you for Baton, loving it so far. I have only one annoyance so far, and I wanted to get your feedback.

My listening is oriented around albums. Which is why I appreciate being able to do a "baton search artist NAME", select an artist, and then using the right arrow, go ahead and select a specific album, or even a song. However, after hitting play and exiting the view, I don't have a way to return to it. I can hit the up arrow and repeat the original search, but that requires me to start again from the artist and the album. The same problem exists when playing a song from a playlist using "baton me playlists".

Would it make sense to implement a command that shows the last screen again? Something like "baton current" or "baton list"? I'd be happy to send a pull request if you provide details on how you'd like it to work. I am guessing that the main problem is figuring out how to cleanly save state as the user moves through the tables.

Hey @bojanz, I'd be happy to look at a PR if you submit one. I'm open to this working however you see fit since it's just adding new functionality.
