If you are using R in a *nix machine then R is usually compiled with
support for gnu-readline which does have a vi mode.
You need a file called ".inputrc" in your home directory containing the
following line:
set editing-mode vi
in order to activate it. It works exactly like the vi mode in bash
(which also uses gnu-readline). I don't think you can get a vi mode for
the R command prompt in Windows.

Hi,
I'm wondering if R provide a vi mode in the command line just like
other shells such as bash do. Can somebody let me know?
