[comp.emacs] Mini-buffer command history wanted

gnulists@WHEATIES.AI.MIT.EDU (03/28/89)

Does anyone have a patch for a command to repeat the last mini-buffer
command?  Better still, something which maintains a complete history
of mini-buffer commands, a la Zmacs?

Alan,

I assume you are speaking of GNU Emacs. If so, you may want to try
C-x ESCAPE which puts an elisp version of the last command in the mini-
buffer, allowing you to edit it or just reexecute it with RETURN.
