Nice idea, but then you can't enter ! anymore in a shell command.

Here's an improved version that does handle ! (or whatever char you've
bound `yf/last-history-element-and-exit' to) only special if it's the
first char entered at the prompt.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun yf/last-history-element-and-exit ()
  "Select the last history element."
  (interactive)
  (if (not (= (1+ (minibuffer-prompt-width)) (point)))
      (self-insert-command 1)
    (goto-history-element 1)
    (exit-minibuffer)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
