My guess is that you're in vi mode by default (set -o vi), and would prefer it to be in emacs mode. Try ``set -o emacs'' to see if it does what you want. Personally I much prefer the vi mode as I've never been able to get my fingers to learn emacs. After using ksh for almost twenty years, I finally switched to bash from ksh several months ago when I found that tab completion works in vi mode on bash, and a simple alias "r='fc -s'" allows me to use the ksh style ``r'' commands to repeat previous commands.
