Wow, you're right. I just tried all combinations of locations of
.inputrc [c:\, c:\bash, c:\users\default] with all combinations of
stuff in .inputrc ["set editing-mode vi"[1], "set vi-editing-mode"[2],
"set vi-editing-mode on", "set vi-editing-mode true"], and even setting
the INPUTRC environment variable to point to the location of .inputrc,
and none of it works.
However, you can still use this command to switch into vi editing mode:
set -o vi
And this *does* work.
HTH!
[1] The O'Reilly book "Learning the Bash Shell" documents the parameter
as editing-mode.
[2] bind -l in the cygwin bash shell lists it as vi-editing-mode.
