When typing a command, (i.e., su/.../.../) how can I jump

backward/forward?  In a terminal, I can just use the CTRL-A
and CTRL-E to go to the beginning and end of the command.  Is
there something similar in Vim?

I believe, only <home> does that, but since I don't use the stock functionality of ^A in the command-line, I occasionally remap it:

  :cnoremap <c-a> <home>

which makes it behave as you expect. ^E already should behave as you expect:

  :help c_CTRL-E

Currently ^B is set to act as home, but my bash-fingers never reach for that, so it might also help to add

  :cnoremap <c-b> <left>
  :cnoremap <c-f> <right>
  :cnoremap <m-f> <c-right>
  :cnoremap <m-b> <c-left>
