4.2.4 Editing in Insert State ----------------------------- Minibuffer can be edited similarly to Insert state, and you can switch between Insert/Replace/Vi states at will. Some users prefer plain Emacs feel in the minibuffer. To this end, set VIPER-VI-STYLE-IN-MINIBUFFER to ‘nil’. ‘C-v’ Deprive the next char of its special meaning (quoting). ‘C-h’ One char back. ‘C-w’ One word back. ‘C-u’ Back to the begin of the change on the current line.
