I am still learning to love vi mode in bash. It breaks using CTRL-A and CTRL-E to get to the start and end of the line and that really bugs me. That's what I like about this tip, I can keep bash the way I like it, and still be only two key strokes away from editing the command. The extra key stroke is worth it to me.

Doing so will be the same as pressing ^C in bash to cancel the command.

That changes the command line editing mode to use vi-like bindings (i to enter insert mode, ESC to get out). In normal mode, pushing 'v' will start up EDITOR.
