Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Add an option to the command palette that will:
- on opening, show the 5 or so most recently entered commands at the top
- when typing, show the 5 or so most recently entered commands that match the entered text.
Scenario when this would be used?
This will make it much easier to select an often used command which normally shows up lower in the list using keyboard only.
