#1570 (ok 4.5) Usability improvements for console

[Linas Pašviestis]

Hello,

it would make sense to have hotkeys similar to chrome browser console or any other browser have.

1) First of all an ability to cycle through history by using keyboard's up / down arrow keys. This would create a great rapid development experience in cases when developer wants to do a minor change to the last or frequent query executed and test it again.

2) Change query execution shortcut ctrl+enter to a plain enter and use shift+enter for a new line. The motivation behind this is that developers mostly write a one line select queries, so it would make sense to have a shorter hotkey for a more frequent action.

3) Would it be possible to set a focus on the edit if user clicks anywhere on the white space just below edit.

Best regards,
Linas Pašviestish

I implemented part 2 in this pull request. You can choose if you want to use Ctrl+Enter (default option) or just Enter.

Part 2 implemented, but this is only short-term (as long as the browser is open). I suggested in the pull request to improve it with a long-term configuration. This means config.inc.php and user preferences.
