Readline's vi-mode in vim ex mode

Let's see if I can explain myself.

I use vi-mode in bash, which is really great since I'm used to Vi.

When I'm inside vim and type : (to go to ex mode), since I'm used to the vi-mode from bash, I feel the slowliness of having to use this mode like the "regular" way of using bash.

Question is: is there a way of using vim's ex-mode like bash's (or readline) vi-mode?

Solution

  • Not sure if I understand what you're trying to do, but it might be something like hitting q: in normal mode?
