Re: [ferret_users] command line editing

Hi Xiaoyi,

> Does ferret support command line editing?  Like bindkey -v in tcsh?

Ferret supports an emacs-like command line editing by default.
It seems that ferret uses the readline library, and so you can switch
to a vi-like editing mode by saying

    set editing-mode vi

in your ~/.inputrc  .  Note that it starts with the input mode of vi and so
the ESC key will take you to the command mode (h, j, k, l for cursor
navigation, for example).

If the readline library is properly installed on your system, you can read
its manual by "man readline".  If not, you can always find it from google.

Hope this helps,
Ryo
