Description
I'd like to be able to use <C-u>, <C-e>, <C-a> etc when typing a command or a search.
Right now, in normal mode, typing /search_term_with_typo<C-u>search_term searches for search_term_with_typosearch_term instead of search_term.

Research direction
The issue names command and search input handling in normal mode but no file or test. Reproduce the shown typo sequence first, then trace the command-line input entry point and verify that Ctrl-u, Ctrl-e, Ctrl-a, and similar keys edit the active command or search text instead of being ignored; the example should search for the corrected term.
