Debug Console Offers No Line History

Description

Within the Editor, I find myself having to constantly and repeatedly clicking to get into the Debug Console (ESC) in order to re-execute commands.

If one has ever used a command line terminal, simple previously executed commands (such as 'skipTime 1' and 'setDate [2014,04,01,22,00]') can be easily recalled or re-executed by using the cursor keys or CTRL-R. (ie. UNIX/LINUX Bash Command Line)

Steps To Reproduce

Currently using the game's Editor:

  1. Press 'ESC' Key
  1. Enter command to execute
  1. Click 'OK'
  1. Press 'ESC' Key to re-execute
  1. Click 'OK'
Additional Information

What should happen:

  1. Type CTRL-D or similar key sequence to get a command line console.
  1. Type 'Cursor Up' key or 'CTRL-R' for a history recall similar to Bash command line console.
  1. Type 'ENTER' or 'RETURN' to re-execute the command.

Notice how much simpler and easier this sequence is during debugging?

(This also brings to memory, the in-game VON console also lacks any line history!)
