The `r'/`l' commands fit that perfectly. What's wrong with hitting the up arrow or `C-p' to retrieve previous `grep' command input? If you want an earlier one and don't want to cycle to it, use `M-r'. As usual. You can also use `C-x ESC ESC' to repeat previous commands, editing the command as needed. As usual. Nothing new here. I don't see what wishlist feature you're looking for. Command `grep' already has a minibuffer history. And `M-x' already has a command history. What's the problem?
