I have looked in the IDLHELP by

Command Input Line

If you click the right mouse button while positioned over the Command
Input Line, a popup menu appears displaying the command history, with a
maximum buffer of 20 entries.


With this we can select the last command by mouse but this could be
enhanced that it has a preselection.
