My guess is that you're in vi mode by default (set -o vi), and would prefer
it to be in emacs mode.  Try ``set -o emacs'' to see if it does what you
want.  Personally I much prefer the vi mode as I've never been able to get
my fingers to learn emacs.

After using ksh for almost twenty years, I finally switched to bash from
ksh several months ago when I found that tab completion works in vi mode on
bash, and a simple alias "r='fc -s'" allows me to use the ksh style ``r''
commands to repeat previous commands.
