Description

This is a gdb command but the trepanning debugger don't support mixed emacs/vi commands, but instead basically use GNU Readline undeneath so you set which variant you want.

Here is the help from bashdb:

set editing [on|off|emacs|vi] 

Readline editing of command lines

show editing 

@boretom You up for adding this command?

(In going over documenting remake I came across this.)

Research direction

Start by locating the debugger command entry points and the existing GNU Readline setup in remake. Compare the requested set editing [on|off|emacs|vi] behavior with the bashdb help shown in the issue; done means the command accepts those modes and provides the corresponding show editing behavior.
