You can change your shell to bash, and then use the up|down arrows for CL history and editing, with no need of vi commands.

Or switch to ksh, and add this line in your .profile
Code:
set -o vi

... and use [ESC] to enter the CL vi/history mode, and use [h][j][k][l] to cycle through commands or move along the CL for editing. Standard vi commands apply.

You can add
Code:
 stty erase '^H'

in your .profile as well to make the backspace well, backspace.
