Do you already use a "kitchen sink" shell (e.g. bash, zsh, etc)? I use zsh and find that much of the stuff I need to type is available through tab completion (e.g. commands, pathname components, switch names, etc). If that doesn't work then chances are good I've already typed it at some point and can find and edit it by interactively searching through my massive history file with ctrl-r (with emacs bindings that is, not sure how to do that with vi bindings).

  In zsh 4.x, '/' is what i use for history search in vi mode. (It could be just 'Ctrl-R' w/ various options would have worked and i had changed my bindings.) In bash 3 here, vi mode again, both 'Ctrl-R' & '/' start reverse-i-search.
