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).

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

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!

[dado]

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?

vi-mode on linux?

[Rand Bamberg]

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.
