Using inspector to navigate history

So, a situation that sometimes comes up goes something like this:

  1. I remember something I did last month or so.
  2. I remember, or can reconstruct good search cribs well enough to find roughly when that was.
  3. I can’t browse around that point in time, because I’m locked into that search.
  4. What I’d really like to know is what mundane commands I ran before and after those memorable / searchable commands, but I don’t know how to get at that. If I clear the search, I guess I could scroll many, many moons back?

The information seems to be in there, I just can’t get at it in any sensible way.

This is an opportunity to be even more awesome.
