So far, the idea I

Yes, that would be the full realization of the idea.

Being able to select from FROM -> TO history pairs and quickly edit

them in-place if needed.

It could be much more convenient and efficient in everyday practice

than the current history interface, though it should be implemented

parallel to that, so the current interface is also awailable if needed.

So the current FROM input field should provide access to previous

FROM -> TO pairs and handle the case when such a pair is

inputted instead of a simple FROM string.
