Just to clarify, `alias emacs=vi` won't work for this.

Yeah, I agree with "set -o vi," but I also wonder if "unset emacs" could somehow relate to it.

I’m a bit confused about the other options, though. I don’t think "alias emacs=vi" would work for this.

The key here is to figure out how to get bash to recognize vi keystrokes. I'm pretty sure the answer is option D.

I'm more of a nano guy myself, but D) set -o vi has got to be the way to go if you want to use vi in the bash shell.

Haha, alias emacs=vi? That's like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Nice try, but B) isn't the right answer.

I don't know, E) unset emacs sounds like it might work too. Get rid of that pesky emacs and bring on the vi!

D) set -o vi seems like the obvious choice here. It's the command to set the bash shell to use vi-style key bindings.
