If you're using bash or zsh and you don't know the ^X^E shortcut, learn it now.
First, ensure you have a valid `EDITOR` environment variable set to your favourite editor (like vim or emacs).
Second, enter some command, but don't hit enter.
Third, use Ctrl+X Ctrl+E and learn that you can use your editor to modify the command before running it in the shell.
This is pretty helpful if you're trying to edit a long command line.

@antekone Do you know what the binding is if you're using vi input mode?
I don't need it as frequently because of vi mode but it would still be nice from time to time.
@tomasino @minego for ZSH, you just need to set it up in your ~/.zshrc http://nuclearsquid.com/writings/edit-long-commands/ @antekone thanks for this awesome tip!
@minego @antekone ESC then "v"
