I recommend taking a look at Anarkey.  I switched over
after being a devoted CED user for years.

It has everything you talk about (command-line editing,
history, filename completion, and synonyms) and has
a menu interface for redefining the key bindings.  It
will also load up into EMS.  It's a pretty nice product.
