If you just want to execute the most recent Ex command (such as your :s
command), it's available as a register/macro, so you can re-execute it with

@:

and subsequent re-executions (which I often end up doing) can be rerun with

@@

(which is faster/easier to type, IMHO)

:help @:
:help @@

If you need to dig further back in your command-line history, it's just
a ^P away, or you can hit ^F (by default, though overrideable) from the
command-line, or in normal-mode use

q:

to bring up the command-line editing window.

:help c_ctrl-p
:help c_ctrl-n
:help cmdwin

Hope this helps you hack some more.
