Unless you use emacs, then the shell history keys seem normal


POSIX outlines vi mode, but emacs is not mentioned.

"vi - Allow shell command line editing using the built-in vi editor. Enabling vi mode shall disable any other command line editing mode provided as an implementation extension."

Fair fair. I guess the most important thing is that you pick one style of efficient command line searching and editing and run with it.
