Not sure why one would need two different modes for that - rather than having completion work in plain Ex-mode to begin with - i.e. when you type ‘Q’ rather than ‘gQ’. > Keys for command line editing described in ":help cmdline-editing" > also only work with "vim -u NONE -E".

Well I don't fancy myself as an expert on the English language, far from it.. :-( but where I'm concerned, ‘really behave like typing ":" after another’ strikes me as something a native speaker of English would never write/pronounce. Isn't it ungrammatical..? Shouldn't ‘another’ introduces a noun or pronoun..? As it stands, I'm still not sure what the author means. Well, no big deal anyway, and I'm certainly not going to make an issue of it, especially since I rarely (if ever) use any of the two modes.
