[set -o vi] what's the easiest way to cancel the current entered command? Control-C does not work

[jmlucjav]

in my case, Control-c will offer you to exit the console instead. Is there an easy way I am missing to just start over? The usecase is when you have pasted a long multiline text, and have been editing it, so just undoing is not fast...

thanks!

Control-C is supposed to work by default if you use the emacs editing mode. If you use the vi editing mode, the way to configure it is described here and here.

To quote them,

(Normal/insert mode) C-c: cancel / discard-line

The default mapping of C-c is vi_imap/normal-mode-without-insert-leave (in vi_imap), vi-command/cancel (in vi_nmap).
If you instead want to discard the current line and go to the next line, you can bind C-c to 'discard-line':

ble-bind -m vi_imap -f 'C-c' discard-line
ble-bind -m vi_nmap -f 'C-c' discard-line
