is there any way to use the familiar :map and :ab commands when running bash
with "set -o vi"?
for example, if i want to map the following:
:inoremap ( ()<left>
how is it done?
can bash "understand" vi-like commands?
in other words, are the readline commands the ONLY solution, or is there
another way to map keys in bash?
thanks

"Bash in vi mode" is not Vim, it's bash using some Vi-like key bindings
(instead of its default Emacs-like key bindings) for command-line
editing. IIUC, bash has no ex-commands, and therefore no ":map" or
":abbrev" command. It has _bash_ commands though (external, aliases,
builtins, functions, there are several kinds). So, I think the solution
is to bone up on the bash manpage, and see if it can help you.
Best regards,
Tony.
