 |set -V (or set -o vi) will enable it.   Then they'd try that, and

And the golden path is enabling.
Yeah, do not make turtle soup, let the turtles do smalltalk.

a hand.  (Iirc: again, and again, and again...-)

P.S.: i want to add i was sitting and saying your first two
sentences this afternoon (in German).

Thanks, and Ciao from Germany.  (That unfortunately sends lots of
military planes to your home country.)
