Command history panel is missing

[robertoffmoura]

Describe the bug
In the MATLAB IDE, if we press the up arrow while the terminal is focused, a command history panel pops up showing the commands that were most recently executed. This panel has a few useful features:

• It highlights and shows a star next to the current command we're scrolling through
• It shows a red line to commands that failed
• It shows a number, e.g., 2x, to show that a command was executed twice
• It shows a line when multiple commands were executed as a block

But the panel doesn't pop up in VS Code.

To Reproduce
Enter a few commands on the terminal and press the up arrow key.

Expected behavior
A command history panel should pop up.

This is something we would like to do, but unfortunately, VS Code doesn't support extensions creating these sort of custom pop-up boxes.
