Ding ding ding! That was it, exactly. /etc/zshrc
turned out to be full of interesting things; 'bindkey -e'
was one of them. Duh. Shoulda looked first.
Thanks very much!

Take this opportunity to complain to RedHat about their brain-dead
/etc/ zsh files. It's really annoying (especially when you're just a user and
the sysadmin refuses to change those files because he (rightfully) wants
to minimize the amount of changes from a plain distribution).

Hi all --
Has anyone else experienced problems getting vi-mode
to work automatically on Linux? I've set both EDITOR and
VISUAL to 'vi' and tried different combinations of Linux/zsh
versions, with no success:
Linux 2.0.36 (RedHat 5.2) and zsh 3.1.5
Linux 2.2.5-15 (RedHat 6.0) and zsh 3.0.5
Linux 2.2.5-15 (RedHat 6.0) and zsh 3.1.5
I poked around and saw (via printf) that my env-settings
are being queried successfully and the "main" keymap
is indeed being set to vmap ("viins"), but somehow
it's getting overridden somewhere along the line.
Maybe it's a keycap/terminal issue, and the first time I
hit Esc I'm actually clobbering "viins" and entering
"emacs"? ...but if I issue "bindkey -v" manually,
everything works perfectly.
(Also, zsh/vi-mode works automatically on Solaris 5.5.1
and Solaris 5.6 using zsh 3.1.5.)
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time,
Rand.

I never had this problem, and I'm not on Linux,
but I have "bindkey -v" in my .zshrc
Have you tried that?
If so, do you have to issue it again anyway?

Putting "bindkey -v" in my .zshrc does correctly
put me into vi-mode. A harmless-enough workaround --
although it still seems like there's an obscure
zsh/linux bug in there.
Thanks!

See what RedHat's rpm installs. It could be that there's something in
the /etc/zlogin or /etc/zshrc files.
