[ale] question about vi and bash

You can use the standard vi commands:

Ctrl-v = Start of line
$ = End of line

Like your co-worker I do "set -o vi" every time I use bash because I like the vi commands for command line edition AND I can hit "v" to put the line into a full screen editing mode when I want to use it as the basis for a script I'm building.

Subject: [ale] question about vi and bash

Hey guys, I have a question. I co-worker of mine love to set bash up
so that commands are more live vi, in the profile he has the
following...

set -o vi

Well, I can't do a lot of my keys that I am use to

ctrl-a = the begin of a line
crtl-e = the end of a line

I have found that 0 will do teh same as ctrl-a, but $ does the same
ctrl-e, but how do I do that when I am on the command line.
