Vim — What is the name of "q and colon" mode? ( A. command line window )

Or named "command window".

I mean "q and colon" ( q: ).

Not "colon and q" means quit vim ( :q ).

How hard to google this keyword.

• Google "Vim q and colon" (No results)
• Google "Vim q before colon" (No results)
• Google "Vim colon after q" (No results)
• Google "Vim command line q colon" (No results)

In Vim window "Command line" word is displayed.

Finally I found result with "Vim command line q" keyword on Googling.

Document

OPEN						*c_CTRL-F* *q:* *q/* *q?*

There are two ways to open the command-line window:

6. Command-line window				*cmdline-window* *cmdwin*

							*command-line-window*
In the command-line window the command line can be edited just like editing
text in any window.  It is a special kind of window, because you cannot leave
it in a normal way.
{not available when compiled without the |+cmdline_hist| or |+vertsplit|
feature}

Vim documentation: cmdline
