In Vim, a "command history" is a log of the Ex commands entered
(those commands that with ":", like ":tabe" or ":help :tabe".

As stated, you can see that history by typing q:
See
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Using_command-line_history

I suspect you may have meant the weird keys you can type in
normal mode that can sometimes do interesting things. There is
no log of those keys.

You could kludge a log by recording a macro, see
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Macros

Or you could use a command line argument when starting Vim,
for example:

gvim -w keylog.txt file.txt

In the above, you are editing file.txt, and keys typed will be
written to keylog.txt.

I don't think either of these techniques would be helpful as
what you really want to know is "what were the last few keys I
typed?", and that's not particularly easy to answer in a helpful
manner.
