I had the hardest time with the compiler and typing when dlsymming
vi_insertion_keymap (the types the compiler wanted didn't agree with the type
of the parameter); but when I looked in the readline source code, I found a
another solution that will work for both emacs and vi:
in rl_startup_hook:
Keymap current_readline_keymap;
current_readline_keymap = rl_get_keymap();
rl_bind_key_in_map('\t', rl_insert, current_readline_keymap);
Problem solved.
Thank you.
