I enjoy using QS so much that sometimes I never want to leave it. :)

When performing a series of complex operations such as renaming and moving multiple files to different destinations, it may be helpful to have QS automatically re-invoke itself until stated otherwise by the user.

If possible, I would like to see a command that would cause QS to keep itself as the frontmost window until a specific command or key combo (perhaps the same one that invokes QS?) is used. Anyone familiar with Vim's Q command for Ex mode should know what I'm talking about.

In addition to this, a command separator would be great for performing a couple quick commands at a time. Seeing the popularity of the comma trick, it would only be natural for QS to implement this if feasible. How about we borrow `;` from Unix (R.I.P. Dennis Ritchie)?

While I am aware that it is possible to combine commands by saving them as files, the above proposed features would be great for spontaneous interactions.
