Most are natural to an EMACS user (like me).
Apparently "set -o vi" adjusts readline to respond to key sequences more familiar to vi users.
I am a vim user, but I sure don't want my command line to work like vi. vim works great, is very powerful, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that doesn't already know how to use vi. Why go through learning that? Of course I wouldn't recommend emacs to anyone either. -- Len Sorensen
