Delete command from Vim's command line history?
Sometimes I accidentally enter a command with a typo in Vim, e.g.
:e!fil
instead of
:e!file.
As a consequence, the incorrect command clutters the history until it is evicted from the binary .viminfo file.
Can that incorrect entry be deleted from the command line history? How?
:help cmdline-history does not touch the subject.
I tried deleting the dirty entry from the command-line window (q:) but it does not actually get deleted from the history, only from that particular window.
