| <h3 class="section">32.5 Readline vi Mode</h3> |
| |
| <p>While the Readline library does not have a full set of <code>vi</code> |
| editing functions, it does contain enough to allow simple editing |
| of the line. The Readline <code>vi</code> mode behaves as specified in |
| the <small>POSIX</small> standard. |
| </p> |
| <p>In order to switch interactively between <code>emacs</code> and <code>vi</code> |
| editing modes, use the command <kbd>M-C-j</kbd> (bound to emacs-editing-mode |
| when in <code>vi</code> mode and to vi-editing-mode in <code>emacs</code> mode). |
| The Readline default is <code>emacs</code> mode. |
| </p> |
| <p>When you enter a line in <code>vi</code> mode, you are already placed in |
| ‘insertion’ mode, as if you had typed an ‘<samp>i</samp>’. Pressing <tt class="key">ESC</tt> |
| switches you into ‘command’ mode, where you can edit the text of the |
| line with the standard <code>vi</code> movement keys, move to previous |
| history lines with ‘<samp>k</samp>’ and subsequent lines with ‘<samp>j</samp>’, and |
| so forth. |
