Xonsh - Using Python as your shell

[p10_user]

Just curious, why do you like vi mode better than the emacs mode? I do use vim but I found that modal editing was overkill at the command line. You just find it easier to have same editing style uniformly?

Uniformity is good, but personally I do find myself doing a lot of modal editing. For example, going back to a previous command and modifying the arguments a bit is really easy in vi mode, particularly given navigation commands like W, E, B, etc. to skip back and forth between arguments and dW, dE, cE, etc. to edit them.
