sqlline should support vi mode for navigating between commands and within the commandline (similar to set -o vi in the shell)

Does it really work? Sqlline does not work in vi-mode for me, it doesn't respect .inputrc settings.
I think I tried everything listed here with no luck:
https://github.com/jline/jline2/wiki/Using-JLine
(it's for v2, but I guess it should apply to v3 of JLine)

[julianhyde]

I don't know. @snuyanzin have you managed to get vi mode working?

[snuyanzin]

Thank you for highlighting this.
Currently .inputrc is not supported by sqlline, moreover it was removed from jline3 and then added again in a little different way jline/jline3#230.

Good point to have it supported.

[snuyanzin]

just filed a new issue for its support

[snuyanzin]

@rkoelner, may be you will be interested in it.
I submitted PR #198 which allows to switch between emacs/vi editing mode. Yes it is still does not support .inputrc files but it is possible both to switch mode while running of sqlline and to specify the mode at start like ./sqlline --mode=vi

[elnerko]

Amazing, works perfect! Thank you a ton, sir!
A solid JDBC shell client was the the only tool missing missing in my zsh+tmux+repls setup. Now, I'll be spending much more time with sqlline, and encourage others to do so.
