That key combination works in bash's emacs mode. If you use vim a
lot, you may find that
set -o vi
in your .bashrc (or whatever you have) lessens the harshness of the
context switch when using bash.
I once tried to switch to vi-mode in bash and I rather liked it. Kept
intruders in awe& stopped everybody trying to hijack my terminal/shells
for one thing...
What eventually made me go back to bash's default emacs-mode editing was
that.. Vim's ex-mode doesn't have a vi-mode..!
In other words, I was using vi-mode line editing in bash but when I was
using Vim's command-line, I had to switch context, back to (a somewhat
crippled) emacs-mode..
Kinda silly, don't you think..?
Of course, I proceeded to experiment with the ‘q:’ command-line window..
and I still use it occasionally because it's really sweet when you're
working with complex commands.. regex's and such... But way too slow for
the trivial stuff.
I eventually decided to switch back to bash's default emacs-mode line
editing tactics and added the familiar mappings to enhance Vim's ex-mode
editing:
| cnoremap<C-O> <C-D>¹
| cnoremap<C-D> <Del>¹
| cnoremap<C-A> <Home>
| cnoremap<C-B> <Left>
| cnoremap<C-E> <End>
| cnoremap<C-F> <Right>
| cnoremap<C-N> <Down>
| cnoremap<C-P> <Up>
| cnoremap<Esc>b<S-Left>
| cnoremap<Esc>f<S-Right>
Come to think of it, it's rather odd that nobody ever thought it was
worth their time writing a script that emulates bash's vi mode editing
in Vim's ex-mode..
Maybe someone did, and I never knew about it..?²
I did:
conomode.vim - Vi-style editing for the command line
http://vim.sf.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=2388
beware, it's experimental. help is contained in the header.
Any comments welcome ... I'm not a bash user.

¹ Reassigning... Couldn't do without it..
² Another bash/vim consistency enhancement that comes to mind: cmap
<C-R> to search the command history for the word under the cursor.
Requires remapping<C-R> to something else, naturally..
