<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 <span class="sc">posix</span> standard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<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>When you enter a line in <code>vi</code> mode, you are already placed in
|
||
|
|
`insertion' mode, as if you had typed an ‘<samp><span class="samp">i</span></samp>’. Pressing <ESC>
|
||
|
|
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><span class="samp">k</span></samp>’ and subsequent lines with ‘<samp><span class="samp">j</span></samp>’, and
|
||
|
|
so forth.
