Thanks Andy.

I regularly use the MRU plugin with it's tab completion.

I will often use it to get close to a file I want to edit (absolute
path) and then need to change :MRU to :e and finish editing the command
line and edit the file.

So, this cmap will do what I want <C-e> for "e"dit:
cmap <C-e> <C-\>esubstitute(getcmdline(), '^MRU\>', 'e', '')<CR>
