when you are already in the command-line you can switch to the
command-line window with the key specified in the 'cedit' option. By
default this is Cltr-F. Or you can go to the command-line window
directly with "q:". The command-line window behaves like a normal
window on a buffer, except with pressing Enter in normal mode executes
the current line.

See also :help cmdline-window.
