105 	might be considered to be a bug, Vim uses <Esc> to cancel the command.
110 If you are at the start of the command line, pressing <BS> will cancel the
111 command.  It's like deleting the ":" or "/" that the line starts with.
120 How short can a command get?  There are 26 letters, and many more commands.

371 The command line window is very useful when you want to have overview of the
372 history, lookup a similar command, change it a bit and execute it.  A search
373 command can be used to find something.
374    In the previous example the "?config" search command could have been used

377 While typing that search command you can't open another command line window,
