Instead of Ctrl-F, I use<Esc>, which I find myself hitting
automatically when I want to edit the command line anyway. You can
enable the use of<Esc> by putting this line in your _vimrc:
Hm., I find myself automatically hitting <Esc> when I want to abort what
I was doing on the command-line and go back to Normal mode.
set cedit=<Esc>

:help emacs-keys
While the emacs key bindings aren't as immediately natural as vi key
bindings, they are easier to use and offer more functions than the
arrow keys.
After looking at that help paragraph, I find that IMHO the {rhs} keys
(mostly the arrow keys) are both easier and more natural to use. In most
cases they require only one key (or, in two cases, Shift + one key)
rather than the complex and hard to remember Emacs Ctrl+letter -- which,
in addition, hide _other_ useful Vim commands:
Key Emacs ({rhs}) Vim
Ctrl-A <Home> insert all names matching pattern
Ctrl-B <Left> <Home>
Ctrl-D <Del> list all names matching pattern
Ctrl-E <End> <End>
Ctrl-F <Right> open cmdline window
Ctrl-N <Down> next (wildchar match or in history)
Ctrl-P <Up> previous (ditto)
At least four of these are keystrokes I use fairly often on the command
line, and a fifth one is unneeded (already standard).
Well, other people other mores I suppose; but trying to make Vim behave
like Emacs... 'nuff said.

Gary
