Vim keybindings in ipython

To set vim keybindings in ipython, do the following:

Add the following set commands in your ~/.inputrc file:

set editing-mode vi
set keymap vi-insert

echo -e "\n# Vim keybindings\nset editing-mode vi\nset keymap vi-insert" >> ~/.inputrc

editing-mode controls the key bindings used.

keymap controls readline's key bindings.
