[vox-tech] readline questions (in bash)

[Adrian Kalaveshi]

It's because it starts you off in input mode.  It's interesting that left or
right brings you to command mode.  I just always use 'esc' (like in vi).  Of
course, you can also then use 'j' and 'k' to move up and down.

Yeah I like the 'set -o vi',

the only problem is up|down arrow (command recall) don't work until I hit
left or right arrow.  If I don't hit left|right I just get a flash (visual
bell) when I hit up|down
