Navigating in Vim's Command Mode

Question

I am a long time emacs user learning Vim. Emacs lets me navigate in the mini-buffer (where I issue commands like C-x C-s) using the same navigation keyboard shortcuts as in any

Answer 1

Some from the Vim help:

CTRL-B or 
        cursor to beginning of command-line
CTRL-E or  
        cursor to end of command-line
CTRL-H              
        Delete the character in front of the cursor (see |:fixdel| if
        your  key does not do what you want).
       Delete the character under the cursor (at end of line:
        character before the cursor).
CTRL-W      Delete the |word| before the cursor.  This depends on the
        'iskeyword' option.
CTRL-U      Remove all characters between the cursor position and
        the beginning of the line.
