ksh has 2 input modes: vi or Emacs. In vi mode you've got 2 "submodes": input and command (just like vi). In command mode you can move around the lines and within lines using hjkl. Autocomplete in ksh should work with <ESC><ESC> (tap ESC twice).
To change to Emacs mode, enter
Code:
$ set +o vi
$ set +o viraw
$ set -o emacs

For more details check the ksh man page.
