You can select the whole line starting with : and have
the
command re-excute.
Ah. That's contrary to why I use '#'.
I specifically want the command line to not be re-executed.
I purposefully select the portion of the command line that I want,
paste, and execute.
This is more useful in rc since it doesn't
store history or have ^n/^p etc bound to scrolling through
history.
This makes perfect sense in the use case you describe.
Thank you for the explanation.
