Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
An option to enable a command palette history that remembers the last n number of searches and/or bility to pin more file types like .BAT files would be great.
### Scenario when this would be used?
I made a .bat file to launch a specific application with predetermined arguments and delay. When I type the batch file name in command palette, the result doesn't show up until I write the entire file name including the extension. Pinning this .bat file is not supported currently. So it would be great if there was a way to remember the last n number of completed searches/apps launched, or the ability to pin .bat file types.
### Supporting information

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Command Palette entry point and its current search and pinning behavior. Define whether the change should provide search history, support pinning .bat files, or both; done should include a clear retention limit and reliable discovery or pinning for the requested file type.
