Command line Editing (cont)

VI Mode ('set -o vi') uses vi-style bindings, including command and insert mode.

Command mode
Use ESC to enter command mode
k/j  goes to previous/next history line
h/l/space move left/right/right
/string searches backwards for previous command containing 'string'
?string searches forwards for previous command containing 'string'
n/N continues/reverses search to next matching entry
^ goes to beginning of line
$ goes to end of line
All other options (dw, 5y, etc) work as expected

Insert mode
I/A enters insert mode at beginning/end of line
i/a enters insert mode at current/next position
