I love reading the bash man page. Wasn't it voted the scariest man page?

I found a real gem buried in there today: the builtin "fc". To summarize:

It opens an editor containing the previous command. When editing is
complete, the edited commands are echoed and executed.

I've always wanted to use vi for command line editing. Now I have it!
