In ksh93 r+ and s-, in vi edit mode, all cursor keys work fine on my test systems, just like in ?macs mode. Have you tried already? So the main difference between vi and ?macs mode for me is the need to use one of the vi commands like a, i, or cw to start inserting characters in vi mode. As this might be a problem for beginners or those that come from bash, I am fine with a default "gmacs" setting. Regards, Bernd
