Vi mode support

[gnidan]

This is a feature I've been eagerly searching for in a Node REPL.

I have found readline-vim, which provides Vim keybindings support for the readline module, but it doesn't look like this project uses that?

For reference, GNU Readline supports vi mode, as does Python's prompt_toolkit, and Zsh's Zsh Line Editor.

Thanks!

Any interest in pursuing this? It seems that several people have expressed interest in the past couple of years.

A couple of years later, and this remains an open issue. Any word on this?

Bump!

I join insurmountable @dionyziz in his calls to bring vi mode to readline.
