bapt requested review of this revision.Mar 30 2021, 9:40 AM

I added a similar diff in CheriBSD a while ago but for some reason I added it unconditionally there. Seems like bash also maps in in vi mode, but zsh doesn't.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Mar 30 2021, 10:58 AM

Note that this can still be overridden via $EDITRC, ~/.editrc or a bind command after set -o emacs.

This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.
