use:
set -o vi
you can also use / N & n to search the command history
command line can be editted using a subset of vi commands including
AaIihlCcDSsXx^~0$ and a handy one is v which copies the command line
to a temp file and starts up vi in full screen mode. When you save
and exit the command will be executed. If you do not want to execute
the command place a # at the left end of the linei turning it into
a comment line or delete the line before exiting.
While in full screen mode you could save the
command to a file with: w filename or w >> filename
