All Emacs command store history of user input.
It will be accessed by UP/DOWN one per item.
But it is nice to get menu to select item by UP/DOWN/RET
as you can see more then one item at once
and brief look allow faster find/select item.
Like 'menuconfig' for Linux build or

M-x list-command-history RET
then go to appropriate line and press 'x' to repeat that command.

Oh! My question is ambiguous.
I look for command input history, not for command history.
With ability select item from menu like in menuconfig or in

What about using history completion?
previous-complete-history-element
next-complete-history-element
You can bind these to something for minibuffer-local-*-map

And you can use buffer *Completions* like a menu, if candidate cycling is
available. Your minibuffer input (what's currently in the minibuffer) filters
the possible completions (i.e., filters the menu).
Icicles lets you do this.
* You can also refine the "menu" (candidates) progressively, combining multiple
patterns (e.g., substrings, regexps).
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Icicles_-_Progressive_Completion
* You can also choose multiple candidates (multiple-choice menu).
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Icicles_-_Multiple-Choice_Menus
* You can also, during any minibuffer input (not just with completion), hit
`M-o' to complete against the current minibuffer history, inserting the choice
into the minibuffer.

Hi,
thanks. Think that's the preferred way.
For Emacs beginners however a menu might be useful.
Supporting a feature request at emacs-bugs,
Andreas
