  • Oh yeah, I forgot that AIX uses ksh88 by default (+1). Which, well, is quite old. On the other hand i believe that the arrows should still work inside set -o vi. The arrows are more at its loss with ksh itselff. And I'm confident that PuTTY has a workaround in its config pane, although i had not used that for 10 years. Commented Feb 17, 2017 at 15:44
