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.
