title: Vim record history
body: <p>Vim stores the list of commands that we applied using : for the current execution.
  But when I close vim and start it again, the vim command history is lost.
  I tried <code>set history = 1000</code> in the .vimrc file but that did not help. <br/>
  Where does Vim maintain the local command history? <br/>
  What is the command to retain command history? <br/></p>
