Lookup data while in mysql cli edit mode (external editor) (\e)

I'm using the mysql cli in edit mode (\e). > Select * from \e Goes to vim and I finish typing my command. Select * from test_table; Only to realize I've forgotten to use the database I need. Is there a way I can preserve this script in edit mode, switch back to the regular mysql mode, run my command, and then come back to edit? Another example would be: I forget how a column name is spelled and I need to look it up after I've started typing a command in edit mode. Thanks!
