Actually, where I said 'vi edit mode for bash would be nice' I meant, it would be nice with the following improvements.
1) easy way to switch between vi and emacs mode with a single keystroke
2) a way to see what mode I was in when in vi mode

I know there I times I would really like to be bouncing around the command line with /'s and n and hjkl and all those goodies, but I meant to say I just never have the time to switch to it and generally don't need it.
