   So - is there any way to cancel current command line but leave it in
   history?

Using emacs-mode I simple go to the beginning of the line (c-A), then
quote the line (ESC-') and write echo before it and execute it. Thus
it isn't executed but in the history and it's easy to retrieve.
Nothing fancy but works for me.
