Ksh has been my preferred interactive shell since I first started using
SVR4-based systems in the late 80's.

Prior to that I used something called wash, short for Warwick Shell
(a version of Bourne Shell with added interactive history, written by
some folks - students I assume - at Warwick University in the UK).
Wash's history mechanism used control characters for all the editing,
which as a vi user I hated.  Once I discovered ksh's vi mode I never
looked back.

I use bash as a fallback when ksh isn't available, but a few things
in its vi mode don't quite work the same way.

I've never used ksh (other than to quickly test a quick thing here and
there), so I don't know how its vi mode works.  That said:

    1) The idea of compressing "vi" down to a single line editor is
    problematic in any case.  It will always be an approximation of the
    real thing.  In fact, if I want to do anything non-trivial in command
    line editing (in bash), I use "fc" (which invokes real vi on a temp
    file) rather than doing "inline" editing.

    2) There are a few things that bug me about bash's vi mode, but I've
    mostly accepted/gotten used to them over the years. Here are just a
    couple (there are others, but these are what comes immediately to mind):
	a) That you are in insert mode by default.  This is just not how vi
	is supposed to be used.  tcsh gets this one right.
	b) That the wildcard is "*" (as if you were in glob mode) rather
	than ".*" as it would be in real vi.

Does ksh improve on either of these points?

Recently I've used ksh on quite an ancient QNX platform, I needed to 
transfer some binary files over telnet where ftp/scopy wasn't available.

I managed to persuade google (gemini?) AI to produce a script to 
b64encode the files, working around the lack of external utilities, 
which at about the 6th attempt it did manage to get the job done, where 
I would never have known the subtleties of ksh it used.

I think just about all of these unixy shells have a common core of
POSIXish functionality that you can use to fumble at least part of
your way to a solution.

For the rest, there’s always the man page ...

By “vi mode” do you mean “GNU readline”?

I think he is referring to the vi-like editing mode that is, in bash,
functionally provided by the 'readline' package (and usually compiled-in in
the bash executable file).

Is that what you meant?

I'll have to try that. Because I tried Fish and zsh but never like them.

I really guess, yes, he's speaking about setting 'set -o vi' in the
.bashrc because without it it's fall back to Emacs defaults. The
[CTRL]+U works the same in vi and Emacs mode, but the [CTRL]+W doesn't
works as good in vi mode. And when this option is set, the readline can
enter vi modes and it's great. But the [AltGr]+[Shift]+[.] in Emacs mode works
better than [AlrtGr]+[_] in vi mode if you don't want to use the very
last one but something a little bit older.

Given that the same underlying readline code is available in both
modes, it seems to me any difference in behaviour is by deliberate
design, not because the same code was implemented twice and screwed up
the second time.

set -o vi

If you type a line and <Ctrl>b moves you back a character you're in 
readline's emacs mode.  If yuo see ^B you are in vi mode.

As others have pointed out, I'm referring to how history editing
works after you "set -o vi" in POSIX-conforming shells.  In bash I
believe this is provided by GNU readline, but ksh has its own
implementation.

You were specifically talking about bash, though.

What sort of things did you find “don’t quite work the same way”?

My post was mostly about ksh, with a comparison of ksh and bash at
the end (the only bit you quoted).

> What sort of things did you find “don’t quite work the same way”?

I recall finding that repeating an R command with "." didn't work at
all in bash, but I reported that one to Chet and it was fixed at some
point.

Mostly I think the remaining differences come down to "look and feel".
For example, if I give a repeat count before a command, bash changes
my shell prompt to "(arg: N)" then changes it back when it executes
the command, which I find distracting.  In ksh the behaviour has
exactly the same feel as in the vi editor.

   There's nothing WRONG with ksh ... gets it done
   pretty much as good as bash.

   But it's become 'uncommon'.

   In theory I could stick to ancient shells
   and COBOL for stuff - but it's just not
   worth it. "Modern" isn't ALWAYS bad.

   Note, you CAN write almost anything in COBOL if
   you want, even deep 'system' utils.

   But 'C' is much better.

   DO remember when 'C' was the Great NewFangled Lang
   for my PDP-11.

   Linux, you CAN still get 'B' compilers and even
   ones for the predecessors. Did a few examples,
   they CAN get shit done. 'C' is "nicer" though.

   Never found much use for 'D' ... just seems to
   look like 'C' but with much shittier syntax.
   DO install it however, Just In Case. Same for
   a few of the 'modern' langs.

   There IS a point where the proverbial wheel
   HAS been invented.

Well, I'm reading that long after everyone, so I guessed rightly about
the option. But I didn't knew it was a POSIX feature. I believed it was
a bash feature. I'll really have to look at ksh someday.

   Well, we like what we like.

   But for a LONG LONG time, most everybody goes
   with Bash.

   DO have a c-shell installed, always do, but have
   not USED it for anything in 20 years. Also always
   install a FORTH ... but again haven't USED it for
   anything in 20+ years.

   Always install a COBOL too ... HAVE used it to make
   a few odd things - but mostly to "keep my hand in",
   nothing important.

   No.

   Anyway, for an interpreted script lang these days, PYTHON.
   Massively better in every way than the old shit. Ya usually
   need ONE of the old script langs to RUN Python however, but
   there are shortcuts. Some kind of "Bash-E", ONLY meant to
   start other scripts, would not be a bad idea.

I was paid to retype around 200 pages of 8086 assembler from a magazine 
scan in to create a FORTH interpreter.
I think it took about 3-4 weeks.
I raised my mental hat to the idea of it, but I was never tempted to use it

By that time C compilers, 32 bit chips and many megabytes of RAM were 
cheap enough to make it not my first choice.

I found a CP/M version of Forth and got it running on my IMSAI.
I'm currently trying to resurrect that box - if I get it going
then maybe I can play with it some more.  I did manage to write
a Sieve of Eratosthenes...

Forth love if honk then
