[R] Is there a 'vi' mode in R?

[Trevor Davis]

If you are using R in a *nix machine then R is usually compiled with 
support for gnu-readline which does have a vi mode.

You need a file called ".inputrc" in your home directory containing the 
following line:

	set editing-mode vi

in order to activate it.  It works exactly like the vi mode in bash 
(which also uses gnu-readline).  I don't think you can get a vi mode for 
the R command prompt in Windows.
