Hello list,
I've been using the default mysql client whenever I need to use the
database interactively. Its always been a hope of mine that it would
support vi style key presses and command mode.
I found that you could change the default pager and then edit
commands using vi, but this isn't as good as support in the actual
client.
I've done plenty searches but never found anything. Anyway I was
banging away on the keyboard one day and suddenly I found I was using
vi editing keys!
I checked the source and found that the readline library was being
used, which I knew supported vi keys, so it was pretty easy to find
out how to switch from emacs to vi mode and visa versa (see
vi_keymap.c and emacs_keymap.c), Meta-Control-j to switch to vi keys,
and Control-j to go back to emacs.
After finding this out, I then checked the man page for readline, and
this is all clearly stated there too (as well as lots of other useful
stuff).
Matt
