   Well, it's nice, but it's not as complete a vi as ksh's vi mode, 
   which is too bad.

It would be more helpful to tell us what features are missing in Bash.
Then perhaps we could put them in.

   I also like the way tcsh allows ^W to back up to things like / and +,
   not just to white space.

The command <backward-kill-word> operates in this fashion.  You can
set C-w to run this command in your ~/.inputrc file with:

	C-w: backward-kill-word

   And I miss the asynchronous notification of tcsh and csh that's also
   lacking in ksh.

Try putting "notify=" in your ~/.bashrc file.
