How do I enable vi mode?

[mynamewastaken]

I've tried setting it this way which errors out:

PS C:\users\me\Downloads> Set-PSReadlineOption -EditMode Vi
Set-PSReadlineOption : Cannot bind parameter 'EditMode'. Cannot convert value "Vi" to type
"PSConsoleUtilities.EditMode". Error: "Unable to match the identifier name Vi to a valid enumerator name.  Specify one
of the following enumerator names and try again: Windows, Emacs"
At line:1 char:32
+ Set-PSReadlineOption -EditMode Vi
+                                ~~
+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-PSReadlineOption], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId :     CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,PSConsoleUtilities.SetPSReadlineOption

I've tried installing both via Github as well as via PSGet and get the same result both ways. Am I missing a step somewhere?

You need to build it yourself for now. I haven't published a build with vi mode support yet.

@lzybkr Are there any instructions on how to do that? I'm happy to send in a PR to update documentation if you would like.

The MakeRelease.ps1 script will build and package up the release, it's at the root of the repo:
https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine/blob/master/MakeRelease.ps1
It will also install if you pass -Install, but you can't have PSReadline loaded in any instance of PowerShell, so you could run (after killing all instances of powershell):

powershell -noprofile -command path\to\repo\MakeRelease.ps1 -Install

@mynamewastaken did you get this working? Can you provide details.

[lzybkr]

@idvorkin - vi mode is in version 1.2 - included in Win10 or just follow the instructions for installing the latest version

[idvorkin]

Perfect - works like a charm -- thanks.

[idvorkin]

Dude - this plugin is incredible, thank you!!! I can finally make the switch to powershell after being trapped in cmd (w/clink) since forever.

You can thank @srdubya for vi mode. I'd have gotten around to it eventually, but he deserves all the credit for that feature.

Thank you @srdubya - Much obliged!!
