Thanks BJ & Hegart. I managed to get vi mode working. One gotcha I've found is that to change modes in vi from insertion to command, the key is the escape key. This is also the key TW uses to abandon a tiddler. It brings up an "Abandon changes to this tiddler?" dialog. If I cancel it, it returns me to the editor but fortunately also switches to command. Annoying but liveable I think.....
