First, I apologize if my exposition was not clear, because I have been using
vi-style commands (see below what I mean by vi-style) in R well before 1.0.0.
Second, I have to report that I solved my problem this morning... Here's a
briefing:
although .bashrc reads
set -o vi
my .inputrc file, reading
anovo@friedman anovo > cat .inputrc
set editing-mode vi
was missing (I forgot to copy it to my new $HOME).
Once that's in place, in R-1.2.2 (that I compiled), if I press ESC followed
by:
(i) j, it scrolls down,
(ii) / and some text it search R history...
(iii) ...
Thank you for your time,
Alvaro
