I use PSQL to set my editor to vi. This works as expected in psql,

Is there any way to set my psql command line editor to also use vi
(just like I do with "set -o vi" in bash)?
I can't find this in the docs.
I have in my .inputrc this line:
set editing-move vi
and it works like a charm.
I tried this and can't get it to work.
1) I tried putting that in my .bashrc script and sourcing the file
(and also logging in again)
2) I did the set on the command line and then started psql
It's a readline setting, not an environment variable. Try putting it
in ~/.inputrc.
Though it looks like you're on a Mac, and that's likely to be using
editline
rather than readline, in which case putting "bind -v" in ~/.editrc
would be
what you need. That'll start you in input mode, so 'esc' should switch
you
to navigation mode.

Steve
