I think option vi-tabcomplete is pdksh, not real ksh. I don't know what shell
uses option tabcomplete.
AFAIK, real ksh will do tab completion in either emacs or vi editing mode. (I
don't
use tab completion myself, 'cause I'm faster without such things).
I don't think you need to do anything to get history (in bash, I think you need
to
set HISTFILE, but in ksh, if it isn't set, it should use $HOME/.sh_history).
In vi editing mode, an escape followed by a "k" (vi cursor up command) will move
backward to the previous command, escape followed by a / and then some
characters
would search for those characters, etc.
If you're not used to using vi, you may find you prefer emacs mode - it's more
like
DOS command line editing, since it doesn't have a separate command and input
mode.
