I was using emacs mode, since I did not know what mode I was in when using vi mode. Finally I can use vi mode and know what mode I’m in. Thank You

Is there a way to do this in bash?

I was unhappy with this solution, becausing hitting “enter” in command mode would not reset the VIMODE variable.
Use case: enter command mode, search for a particular command, hit enter to run it.

Here is how I solved this problem:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

function accept_line {
VIMODE=''
doprompt
builtin zle .accept-line
}
zle -N accept_line
bindkey -M vicmd "^M" accept_line

The file I’m linking to isn’t my .zshrc, but just the prompt. If you want to add Vi keyboard bindings in your ZSH, then in your .zshrc:

1	bindkeys -v

I’ve tried your amazing .zshrc but vi keys don’t work for me. If i press ESC nothing appen and zsh continue to work normally with the standard emacs keybinding
