How to retrieve command from history after using Ctrl+C to clear the current input line

Question

When I am entering some command, often I need to run a different command. I once saw in a video where they hit ^C then later retrieved that command from history.

The answer here (2nd paragraph) also talks about this exact behaviour I am looking for. But doesn't say how to make it work.

Quoting the answer->

Alternatively, and this is particularly useful if you are in a nested command, such as a while or for loop, hit CTRL+C, which adds the command to history without executing it and clears the line, so you can then recall it using the shell's history mechanism when you are ready to use it.

I know we can use Ctrl+U or Ctrl+K then Ctrl+Y, but I am looking for this specific solution.

I went over all these sources:

Shells do not typically enter a Ctrl-C-cancelled command into the history.

I can't find anything in the GNU Bash or GNU Readline documentation about enabling a behavior whereby cancelled commands would be put into the history anyway.

If you're typing a command and realize you need to run another one first, then jump to the start of the line and comment out your command with #. Then hit Enter to dispatch it. Commented lines are put into the history, so you can later recall it, delete the comment character and keep working on it.
