Yes and no. readline's vi support is missing a bunch of random stuff. The thing that tends to irk me the most is the lack of the normal mode:
ge
This goes to the end of the previous word. There are other things, but I use this quite a bit and when it's not there, I become temporarily jarred trying to figure out if I'm mistyping.
- a3n 12y agoYou and I are talking about two different things. You're talking about command line editing, on the command line. And you're right, ge doesn't work there. vi mode at the command line is a small subset of vi. The next time you want to use ge or any other full vim feature, try this instead: - esc, to get into normal mode. - the single character 'v' (no quotes), to open a full vi (or vim, or $EDITOR). - the vim session will have your command line so far. - edit with the full power of vim or whatever opened. - :wq to execute the command. - or empty the buffer and then :wq to not execute anything.
