Persistent clickable Command History panel (like MATLAB Desktop)

[jmamrgp]

Summary
The MATLAB extension currently opens the Command Window as a terminal but provides no persistent, clickable command history view like MATLAB Desktop. Please add a Command History view (side panel) that lists past commands, supports click-to-execute in the Command Window, search/filter, and optional export.

Problem

• The extension's Command Window is an integrated UI (not a normal terminal) and has no history view.
• Users cannot click past commands to re-run them from a persistent side panel.

Requested behavior

• Add a contributed view (viewsContainers/views) named "Command History" that lives in the Side Bar / Auxiliary Bar.
• Each entry should be clickable to send the command to the MATLAB Command Window.
• Support search, clear, and export (optional).
• Honor active MATLAB connection and focus the Command Window when executing.

Context
I inspected the extension package.json and it has no "views"/"viewsContainers" contributions (only commands/keybindings/terminal profile). A persistent history view would greatly improve workflow parity with MATLAB Desktop.

Thanks.

Thanks for the request! This is something we can consider adding in a future update!
