command.
In
vi mode on most systems, canonical processing is initially enabled and the command is echoed again if
the speed is 1200 baud or greater and contains any control characters, or if less than one second has
elapsed since the prompt was printed. The ESC character terminates canonical processing for the
remainder of the command and the user can then modify the command line. This scheme has the advan-
tages of canonical processing with the type-ahead echoing of raw mode.
Setting the
viraw option always disables canonical processing on the terminal. This mode is implicit for
systems that do not support two alternate end-of-line delimiters, and can be helpful for certain terminals.
Input Edit Commands
By default the editor is in input mode.
erase Delete previous character. (erase is a user-defined erase character, as defined by the
stty (1) command, usually ˆH or #.)
ˆW Delete the previous blank separated word.
ˆD Terminate the shell.
ˆV Escape next character. Editing characters, erase or kill characters can be entered in a
command line or in a search string if preceded by a
ˆV. ˆV removes the next
character’s editing features (if any).
\ Escape the next erase or kill character.
