(Damn! I clicked the wrong link in the confirmation notice.
Apologies.)
For some time now, on both Ubuntu and Cygwin, "set -o vi"
is ineffective.
The command is accepted and a query indicates it's in effect:
\! $ uname -a
Linux Linux-Mac 2.6.38-11-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 19:05:14 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
\! $ set -o vi
\! $ set -o
Current option settings
...
vi on
emacs off
...
But when I press ESC to enter command history, it simply
echoes the ESC as "^[" and calls the next command illegal:
\! $ ^[
dash: not found
Thanks,
gil

I think this requires dash to be built with libedit support to work.
Check your packages.
