Command recall, editing in place before send, potentially nick highlighting etc.

BTW, there's a tinyfugue receipt/package in mud already. I've not tried building it recently, but getting it into Extras should be a case of:

Code:
mud build tf
scp upload/tf*.tar.gz upload/tf*.dsc upload/tf*.changes
Admittedly this last step should just be mud upload tf, but that trivial enhancement's yet to be implemented.

The package could be enriched with menu entries, terminal auto-starts and lovely icons just like the vim package with a small amount of work.
