yes there are lots and lots of interesting modes.  But what i want
is to  search in the buffer, with normal buffer search commands such
as
C-r and C-s, edit the command like a normal buffer, inserting,
deleting and overwriting, then
press ENTER to re-execute the command at the next shell prompt.

fancy completion modes are well and good, but they should not prevent
basic navigation and editing.
