The zsh manual says the viins mode is automatically turned on if the EDITOR environment variable contains anything linke 'vi'. http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/zsh_17.html#SEC92
The additional ubuntu keybindings cause a lot of trouble if someone exports EDITOR=vim in .zshrc and starts an other zsh instance via sudo -s oder screen. The new instance starts with viins mode and the keybindings in /etc/zsh/zshrc are activated. This doesn't affect a normal login shells since the environment most likely doesn't have the EDITOR variable set. -- package defaults are unfriendly for users that use the 'viins' editing mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72054 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
