This works in ZSH as well, I also didn't know about it so this is definitely going to save me a lot of keystrokes. Although I already had some of the regular shortcuts memorized (like ctrl-a goes to start of the line) being able to use one set of keybindings is great!

And in Zsh, you could even have it show the current Vi mode (Insert or Command) in the prompt. I don't have my .zshrc handy, I'll try to get the command once I get the .zshrc.

  Wow, that's been my biggest trouble with vi mode for years, and I've been using Zsh for a long time and didn't know it could do that. I would be eternally grateful if you could post the solution here...

    I'm at work after a long vacation, so got access to my .zshrc. Here's the relevant part: #It starts in insert mode export VIMODE=INS function zle-keymap-select { VIMODE="${${KEYMAP/vicmd/CMD}/(main|viins)/INS}" zle reset-prompt } zle -N zle-keymap-select bindkey -v I use Oh My Zsh, but as far as I know this should work without it too. Wish HN had a notify-on-reply system like Reddit's orangered. Would you see this? Would you not? Would I miss eternal gratefulness from a fellow HN citizen? Oh, how I wish I knew the answer!

      Maybe you won't even see this ;) , but it unfortunately doesn't seem to work on my vanilla Zsh. Perhaps I'll look into OMZ a bit and see if things work out that way. Thanks anyways :)
