Let's leave it as it is already implemented, and get UX feedback

I don't think this work could be separated, as it is stricly connected with "up and down" feature. Without indicator of currently selected calculation from history, it gives bad User Excperience. 
For example user could press accidently "up" key, and the whole formula which was typed will gone. With indicator it will be visible that formula was changed with calculation from the history.

It will be also great to implement "Escape" press. If you press Escape key, then it exit from history preview and go back to the old formula.

What do you think about that?
