Readline vi-mode in vim ex mode

Question

Let's see if I can explain myself.

I use vi-mode in bash, which is really great since I'm used to Vi.

When I am inside vim and type: (to switch to ex-mode), since I'm used to bash's vi-mode, I feel the slowness of using this mode as a “normal” way of using bash.

Question: is there a way to use vim ex-mode, for example, bash (or readline) vi-mode?

Answer 1

Not sure if I understand what you're trying to do, but maybe something like a hit q: in normal mode?
