As originally indicated in #506 by @mspacek:

I found this kind of functionality really handy in pycrust/pyshell under wx. To quickly replace the current input buffer with the contents of a previous input field, just click on the previous input field and hit enter. Then you can edit it before executing it.

The prototype in #506 requires some extra work that may not happen right away, so for now we're closing that PR and leaving this open issue to keep track of it in the long run. But anyone willing/interested in helping out with this problem should probably start by looking at the code and discussion in #506.
