[IPython-user] vim-mode on the command line of ipython like in bash?

[Paul Ivanov]

Hi Benjamin,

There definitely is: you can put those lines in your ~/.inputrc and
readline will pick them up inside ipython.

As a bonus, all other programs that internally use readline will now use
vi-mode as well.

cheers,
Paul Ivanov
