You are setting your cmd-line edit keys to emacs, why not use emacs keys
to move around your command line?  CTRL-A for jumping to the begining of
the line (HOME?) and CTRL-E for jumping to the end of the line (END?).

In Midnight Commander, you can use ESC-1 instead of F1, if your F-keys
aren't mapping properly.
