[Animated GIF] Option-Click to re-run

See the attached GIF.

Note that we don't attach Math.random() row on every click because it matches the last user command. However, in the following example:

    > Math.random()
    < 0.4242424242
    > document.location.pathname
    < "/"

clicking Math.random() should attach it again, e.g.:

    > Math.random()
    < 0.4242424242
    > document.location.pathname
    < "/"
    > Math.random()
    > 0.2354678908

Also, Command+Enter, Option-Enter, or both should re-evaluate selected console message.

I like!  I agree Command or Option-Enter on the selected row should do this too.

[Timothy Hatcher]

Or maybe just Enter for selected row?

Lets also make the double arrow that appears more like the existing grey arrow. So same size/shape but double and blue.

[Animated GIF] Re-submit on click

I implemented re-submit on click and run it for a day. It turned out not as useful as I have thought because:
1. Console messages shift up every time a new one is added — I need to move mouse cursor after every click.
2. Console always scrolls to the bottom when the new user command result is added, as it should be, but it often leaves the clicked user command out of the view port.

In the attached patch I only implemented re-submit on Enter. I want to give Option-Click to re-run a bit more thought and not include it in this patch.

Let instead of var.

> +            if (consoleItemElement.__commandView) {

We should change this from "__" to a symbol (can be a different patch, but should be done).

Won't this event be triggered once the new command has been executed and added to the frontend, or is it necessary to fire MessageAdded before the message is actually added?

Removing this line would prevent the result from being added to the console.
It looks like I could use this._logViewController.appendConsoleMessage instead.

Since https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148121, pressing Enter when a console message is selected behaves the same way as pressing Enter in the console prompt. I think this is right.

We should be consistent with "Web Inspector: Option-Enter should commit console command without erasing the prompt" https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148123 and use the same shortcut. I used Option–Enter there but I'm open to suggestions.
