Moving efficiently in the CLI

Thank you for this! I had no idea this existed. It is perfect for vim users. Very happy that I can now jump around to my heart's content without learning a new set of keyboard shortcuts.

Even better is to create a .inputrc configuration file. This is used by readline so it will affect your shell and some other utilities. You can do even more in there too.

For example I use this:

  set editing-mode vi

  # Up and down arrows keys search history based on what is already typed.
  "\e[A": history-search-backward
  "\e[B": history-search-forward
