REPL-like interaction within Jupyter?

Is there a way to interact with Jupyter/Jupyterlab such that it behaves more like the REPL? That is, I do like the rich display of Jupyter and some other things, e.g. easier entry/editing of multiple lines before execution. But I find I don’t like to use it for most work because I really miss some aspects of the REPL:

previous command(s) recall (up arrow)

(with OhMyREPL) fuzzy search and multi-select of previous commands

pkg/shell modes

linear history in scroll back

not having to create a file

command history that is unified across sessions (and with the normal REPL history)

Are any of these actually possible already and I just haven’t figured out how? For those that are would they be feasible?
