Aider doesn't respect mode=vi / set -o vi

[robbintt]

Issue

I use set -o vi in .bashrc and this .inputrc, is it possible to support it in aider?

I noticed there is a vi mode in the settings, but since using readline, it might be nice to have this from system settings.

# use `bind -P` to see readline bindings
# use `bind -f ~/.inputrc` to reload

$if mode=vi
set keymap vi-command
# these are for vi-command mode
Control-l: clear-screen
Control-k: history-substring-search-backward
Control-j: history-substring-search-forward
Control-e: shell-expand-line
"gg": beginning-of-history
"G": end-of-history

set keymap vi-insert
# these are for vi-insert mode
Control-l: clear-screen
Control-k: history-substring-search-backward
Control-j: history-substring-search-forward
Control-e: shell-expand-line

# iterm2 bug test - https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues/6951
#set show-mode-in-prompt on
