History issue in the WIP

[AMG]

1. Click “Record History” on the status bar.
2. Execute any command that is history-enabled.
3. Observe that the “Record History” automatically gets disabled afterwards.

I want to be able to perform step 1 without having to explicitly click on the button located on the status bar, but rather use a macro like _History _OneShot=Yes. The code for doing this clearly exists, because that is how it works when using the status bar.

One shot history via command line?

I would like to use history only on select commands. as I understand the only option is to click on the statusbar before/during the command so that once the command is completed the history is disabled again automatically. if history is activated by command line it is always permanent; is there any other way than using the gui to do a “one shot history” ? (it is slow to use the gui…) thnx, daniel
