Hi,

 The yank-trick (first yank the stuff, then CTRL-R" in the commandline
 fits currently my needs best.

 Thanks a lot!

For shortcuts to inserting files and words on the commandline see the

Hi,

 for what keyword I have to look in the online-help to find a hint
 how to copy any text from a buffer as any part of a command currently
 being edited in the commandline ?

If by "buffer" you mean what the Vim docs call a "register", see 
":help c_CTRL-R".


If you mean part of a file being edited, IMHO the easiest way is to 
yank it beforehand into a register, though in some cases you can use 
the expression register (Ctrl-R =) with e.g. expressions such as 
getline(".")


Also, if you merely want the bit of text currently under the cursor, see 
:help expand() (ie. expand("") and expand("") ).
