Yes, I also want standard, consistent, familiar environment when I login. So, first thing I do, is "set -o vi". Unless it's running barebone BusyBox or Ash variants, all shells that I encountered will honour "set -o vi". To revert, "set -o emacs". If I control the remote account, then I put "set -o vi" in ~/.profile, or copy over ~/.inputrc. On 2026-04-18 22:32, Lennart Sorensen wrote:

Try it for a week. You'd be surprised. I use Vi-mode command line.
Like other things, I don't want to run non standard settings on common tools because it won't be set that way when I login to another system which I do all the time.
No weird shell settings, no wierd editor settings. Leave everything stock.
