We should have a more generic mechanism for commands previously executed. The operator used is also relevant. Making a list of them will also be useful. I sometimes type something different from what I intended, it would then be good to be able to see what happened, the last few commands executed. At least for changes, possibly also for other commands. E.g. if you wonder why a window was closed. |

you mean like :history, but with the operators commands used ? |

you mean like :history, but with the post operator commands used ?
The :history command only keeps command lines, as text.
That's probably the best we can do for Ex commands, since they are
largely unstructured.
For Normal mode commands we do have some structure, such as the count,
the register, movement command, operator, etc. I'm not sure what would
be useful to provide. Alternatively a list of commands as text could be
provided. For operators that's often what is in the redo buffer. But
it may get complicated, e.g. when using the Visual area.

The ark was built by an amateur; professionals gave us the Titanic.

I could create a new history like :history nvcmd with all the last normal mode command used, for the non printable keys i could translate the more commonly used like the Arrow keys in text |
