I was wondering if anyone knows how to invoke command line completion on AIX when "EDITOR=vi" or "set -o vi". In HP I used to click on the Esc key twice. Is there an environment variable that needs to be set.

Thanks in advance,

hi

with vi you need to enter ESC ESC \ ( back slash)

HTH
 
just realised you only need to press esc once even though esc esc works as well
