description
You know Readline key bindings? Of course you do, they're in your shell, your REPL, and perhaps even the GUI for your OS. They're similar to Emacs key bindings (C-a for home), but with several concessions for UNIX (C-w for delete word).

With rsi.vim, I've taken that same concession philosophy and extended it to Vim. Get the most useful of the ubiquitous key bindings without blindly overriding built-in Vim functionality.

C-a, C-b, C-d, C-e, C-f, C-t, M-b, M-d, M-f, M-n, and M-p are provided. Several of these let the original Vim functionality through under some circumstances (for example, at the end of the line). The meta maps are done in a way that works in the terminal without remapping escape.
