Just turn QuickEdit on.  Create shortcut to CMD.exe (or python.exe.)
Right click the short cut, Properties -> Options.  Check QuickEdit and
InsertMode.  When you save, choose Apply to all...  You can paste by
right clicking.  To copy just highlight and hit return.

CMD has doskey for command history.  To search the history, type a few
leading characters of the command you want to recall and press F8.  Type
"help doskey" for more info.
