[Cialug] more efficient command line editing

[Josh More]

In bash:   set -o vi

Oh, wait.  That makes the keystrokes *I* use everywhere else work on the command line too.  :)

(You probably want to look at /etc/inputrc , you can set all sorts of special stuff there.)

Subject: [Cialug] more efficient command line editing

Is there something out there that allows me to use keys like home (beginning of line), end (end of line), ctrl-backspace (delete word), ctrl-left (move cursor back one word), etc. on the command line? Yes, I know about ctrl-a, ctrl-e (there's also shift+home,end) - but I'd love to have the same keystrokes I use everywhere else work on the command line too.
