Unless I missed something, I don't think this is going to work, because
you need a variable to keep track of where you are in the history across
Alt+period keyboard actions.. (?)
I think the answer to your question is the "-1" in the histget()
call which gets the most recent history entry. If you use a
positive number, it starts from 1 through however many history
items you have. If you use a negative index, it starts indexing
the most-recently-entered-command end of the history (same as for
arrays).
:help history-indexing
:help list-index
The exception I could see would be if you knew that you were only
interested in certain types of Ex commands (in your
contemporaneous message, your "g:cmdlist") and would thus want to
search backwards in your history until you hit such a command and
use *that* command to pull from rather than the most recent Ex
command.
