set -o vi
ESC k $ r g
last character of the line doesn't get replaced with a g. The character gets
swapped, then bash or readline swaps the last 2 characters, so the line
above would become set -o gv

This is annoying - I've tried recompiling bash, installing readline vs 5 and
other stuff. SuSE broke this once before - have they done so again.
Behaviour is on a default installation, or not, on X or a text console.

Thanks
Graham

I would have thought you would do:
k$<ESC>rg
after the set -o vi command, ie type in the letters before pressing ESC.

Oh well, I got it wrong.

using ESC k$rg on my box does replace the last char,the one under the
curser, with the g.
