如何在vim底部有一个水平窗格显示最近的命令

Question

I usually work in vim with two panes split vertically with NERDTree being on left. I run external commands with :! and ESC out when the command is completed. Sometimes I want to run the same command again so I have to do :<up arrow>enter

To avoid this, I want to know if there is a way to have a horizontal pane at the bottom of the page that shows the last 5 external commands. In addition, it would be awesome if I can, for example, run the last 4th command by simply doing :!4 or something similar.

I'm sure you know about:

@: - repeat last command

q: - list of commands from history, you can edit and run them.

To run Nth last command from history use this:

command! -nargs=1 H call histdel("cmd", -1) | execute histget("cmd", 0-<args>)

:H 4 - last 4th command
