I have recently acquired a new laptop. (My old one was giving me

I want to get everything running "just as it was" on the old laptop (So
that I can stay in my comfort zone). In particular, I would like to
do command line editing with vi syntax, which is what I am used to.
I cannot for the life of me remember how I told R to use vi syntax on
my old laptop. I am sure it was very simple. A web search led me to
advice that this had to be do be done by installing some "plugins"
(???), but I am certain that stuff like that was not necessary.
Can anyone refesh my aging memory? Thanks.
cheers,
