In command mode, you can move using <C-b> (start of command) and <C-a>
(end). And more, see.

    :help cmdline-editing
    :help emacs-keys

Or if you need to edit the command a lot, press <C-f> to open the
current command in the [Command Line] window.

Basically it's a normal vim buffer where hitting return executes the
line you are on (as in regular command mode) and closes the command
line window. Pressing <C-c> returns to regular command mode, ":q"
closes it without running. You have your entire command line history
in the buffer as well.

You can also start this directly by pressing "q:" instead of ":" (and
"q/", "q?" for "/" and "?" respectively). See:

    :help command-line-window

Best regards,
Niklas
