To add to this: The original terminal where I issued the command I
need might be busy, e.g. if I started some application in it. It might
be inconvenient to suspend that application just to get at the
command. Important special case: the application that’s occupying the
terminal where the original command was entered is Midnight Commander
running a sub-shell in which I want to repeat that command.
