Thanks for this. I switched my input mode to VI and was greatly missing using Ctrl-L to clear the screen when in input mode. I hadn't known about the inputrc before. Adding this line below your "\C-p" line fixed that for me: "\C-l": clear-screen

  Oh wow, I didn't even think about that. I've been making do with Cmd+K on OSX and aliasing c to clear to get around the problem.

  Command-K also does the trick

    Command-K won't play nicely with tmux panes though.

  Signs you have to revert to Emacs mode. Unless it's an assemblage, it's always a smell if you replace a unit of a body with that of a "competitor."

Is there a functional difference between putting... set editing-mode vi ... in one's inputrc and... set -o vi ... in one's .bashrc? I realize that .inputrc is the config file for Readline, and .bashrc is essentially a start-up file for Bash. But is it ever necessary to use both snippets?

  I would imagine that .inputrc would serve as a superset in that all programs (for instance gdb) whiich use readline would now default to vi mode.

    Indeed. It also works in things like irb, for example.

    This is the most useful thing I've heard this (short) year. I've always been looking for a way to make readline globally default to vi mode. Thanks for that.

Very cool, does anyone know a way to set a visual indicator (diff cursor?) when in edit mode?

I've been wanting to use 'jj' to enter normal mode on the command line for some time. This solution actually didn't work for me, but adding the following to my .zshrc did: bindkey -M viins 'jj' vi-cmd-mode

  That is because zsh does not make use of readline. I ran into this issue myself recently, since I use bash on my personal machines and zsh on my work ones.

    Super off-topic, but I bet you'd be far happier if you used only one.
