I looked at /etc/inputrc, and its existing contents are of a different format. |

Where all the other lines are of the form: |
| 21 |
"\eOH": beginning-of-line |
| 22 |
"\eOF": end-of-line |
| 23 |
it felt a bit wrong to be adding "set-editing-mode vi". Hence me asking here. Is it foolish of me to think this? |
