If I understand your question correctly, you can't do that while editing the command line itself, but you can use vi commands to edit the command line in the command window. See :help cmdwin I also have this in my ~/.vimrc so that typing on the vim command line behaves similarly to typing on the shell command line. set cedit= HTH, Gary -- Gary Johnson | Agilent Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Wireless Division | Spokane, Washington, USA

Try one of these: 1. export SHELLOPTS=:vi: # in your .bashrc or 2. let $SHELLOPTS="vi" -- in your .vimrc See man bash, search for SHELLOPTS. Yakov Thanks.

I guess you would have to write it into one of the scripts which non-interactive non-login shells source at startup (see the manpage for your shell to get the names of these scripts).
