Split off audio from a video file
### just splitting it off (which is _fast!_):
ffmpeg -i inputvideo.mp4 -c:a copy -vn -sn outputaudio.mp4
### converting it to mp3
ffmpeg -i inputvideo.mp4 -vn -b:a 128k -c:a libmp3lame outputaudio.mp3

switch on vi mode for bash and stuff using gnu-readline

In the .inputrc add set editing-mode vi (for bash and other stuff using gnu readline) ... or in the .bashrc add set -o vi (if you want to use it in bash only)
