How is Ctrl- different from using "q" in vi?
- babarock 14y agoIt's a matter of muscle memory. I used Vim exclusively for several years, and used vi-mode on my shells. Now that I've switched to emacs, my fingers are more comfortable using Ctrl-<key> for commands.
- erikcw 14y agoAt least for me, macros don't work in Bash vi-mode. Perhaps it is only implemented in emacs-mode? Or maybe it is the readline version I have in OSX.
