  20    <p>While the Readline library does not have a full set of <code>vi</code>
  21 editing functions, it does contain enough to allow simple editing
  22 of the line.  The Readline <code>vi</code> mode behaves as specified in
  23 the <small>POSIX</small> 1003.2 standard.
  24
  25    <p>In order to switch interactively between <code>emacs</code> and <code>vi</code>
  26 editing modes, use the command <kbd>M-C-j</kbd> (bound to emacs-editing-mode
  27 when in <code>vi</code> mode and to vi-editing-mode in <code>emacs</code> mode).
  28 The Readline default is <code>emacs</code> mode.
  29
  30    <p>When you enter a line in <code>vi</code> mode, you are already placed in
  31 `insertion' mode, as if you had typed an <code>i</code>.  Pressing &lt;ESC&gt;
  32 switches you into `command' mode, where you can edit the text of the
  33 line with the standard <code>vi</code> movement keys, move to previous
  34 history lines with <code>k</code> and subsequent lines with <code>j</code>, and
  35 so forth.
