According to man bash, you want

  set -o vi

One of the things I most like about Lasser's _Think UNIX_ is that it begins
with a very fine chapter on man pages and other documentation.  There's
nothing half so fine a being able to answer the question for yourself,
relatively quickly and easily.  Of course, as he also points out, man pages
aren't without their drawbacks...
