I actually checked :h cmdline-complete (which contains this paragraph)
and I did not understand this. I know Ctrl-P gets the previous command
from the commandline but it wasn't entirely obvious to me, that you can

diff --git a/runtime/doc/cmdline.txt b/runtime/doc/cmdline.txt
index 25577a2b6..c6608bbff 100644
