Add vi mode to pyrepl

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Since PyREPL implements its own readline mechanism, vi mode is not supported anymore unless the user reverts to the old REPL using PYTHON_BASIC_REPL. This comes up from time to time in issues like #118840 or #127706.

I propose a simple vi mode implementation directly in PyREPL which offers basic motion and editing functionality. This should reduce friction for users who prefer to use vi editing mode and are forced to rely on the old REPL for this. Achieving feature parity in this regard with the old REPL might also help fully removing the old implementation.

I can submit a PR with a basic implementation for review, which adds motions and simple editing commands. It still requires adding yank & paste, undo, linewise commands, etc. which I'm happy to implement if PyREPL code owners are happy to move forward with the feature and the design looks reasonable.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere

Commencez par examiner le mécanisme readline de PyREPL et l’ancienne REPL sélectionnée par PYTHON_BASIC_REPL, puis lisez la PR liée gh-141375. Pour considérer le travail comme terminé, il faudrait s’accorder sur un mode vi de base avec des commandes de déplacement et d’édition ; yank et paste, l’annulation et les commandes agissant sur des lignes ont également été identifiés comme faisant partie du périmètre restant.
