Erlang interpreter: Vi mode

Question

I'm currently trying to get my hands dirty with Erlang. Also, in the (zsh) shell, I have got accustomed to using vi mode for line editing (set -o vi).

So: Is there a way to make the Erlang interpreter use more vi-like keybindings?

Answer 1

Yes! Just call it as

rlwrap erl -oldshell

NOTE: you may need to install rlwrap (readline wrapper) and adjust your .inputrc (set editing-mode vi)

Answer 2

No!

Well you could write your own line edit module and use that.
