Display Vim mode in Bash prompt

.inputrc

# requires >= Bash 4.3
# note: the prompt will not be updated if you use a custom PS1 which contains a newline character

set editing-mode vi
set keymap vi-command
set show-mode-in-prompt on

# if it's configured correctly, your prompt will be prefixed with a `+` while in insert mode and a `:` when in command mode.

I am using MacBookPro 2015, this .inputrc config does not work.

Me neither :(

Confirmed working on Fedora 22.
Saved it under ~/.inputrc and opened a new terminal works like a charm!

@FZX @benlieb, that is because OSX uses a build of bash way back from 2007.

try " bind 'set show-mode-in-prompt on' "

i mean when you using mac.

You need bash version 4.3+

May one of your next meals be delicious beyond your wildest expectations.
