You can also interactively switch between Vi-mode and Emacs mode. According to the the readline docs to switch between them you are supposed to be able to use the M-C-j key combination but that only seems to allow me to switch to vi-mode - on my Mac (where ESC is used as the 'Meta' key) it is: ESC+CTRL+j. To switch back to Emacs mode one can use C-e but that didn't appear to work for me - I had to instead do M-C-e - on my Mac it is: ESC+CTRL+e.

FYI my ~/.inputrc is set up as follows:

set meta-flag on
set input-meta on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
