Actually, it would open the user's editor, i.e. which ever is
pointed to by the $EDITOR var. So, not just vim, but any preferred
editor can be opened this way for editing the command. But given that
a shell like bash by itself supports editor key-bindings, it should be
easy enough to do it in the shell itself(at least for bash). By
default, it is emacs key bindings and can be set to vi as well. Thanks
