Hmmmm.....setting the EDITOR and FCEDIT commands to "vi" or "<path>/vi" will do it, but if it doesn't then this should: set -o vi or if you decided to use emacs: set -o emacs I personally prefer to use ZSH, but then, using an oddball/combo shell just means that you have to learn it, in addition to the standards: SH/KSH and CSH.
