 - 
 - <p>While the Readline library does not have a full set of <code>vi</code>
 - editing functions, it does contain enough to allow simple editing
 - of the line.  The Readline <code>vi</code> mode behaves as specified in
 - the <small>POSIX</small> standard.
 - </p>
 - <p>In order to switch interactively between <code>emacs</code> and <code>vi</code>
 - editing modes, use the command <kbd>M-C-j</kbd> (bound to emacs-editing-mode
 - when in <code>vi</code> mode and to vi-editing-mode in <code>emacs</code> mode).
 - The Readline default is <code>emacs</code> mode.
 - </p>
 - <p>When you enter a line in <code>vi</code> mode, you are already placed in
 - ‘insertion’ mode, as if you had typed an ‘<samp>i</samp>’.  Pressing <tt class="key">ESC</tt>
 - switches you into ‘command’ mode, where you can edit the text of the
 - line with the standard <code>vi</code> movement keys, move to previous
 - history lines with ‘<samp>k</samp>’ and subsequent lines with ‘<samp>j</samp>’, and
 - so forth.
