bash prompt has become vim? How to reset?

Question

I installed dotfiles from a guy on GitHub (https://github.com/sontek/dotfiles). I didn't like some of the customizations, so I tried uninstalling it by running

./install.sh restore

However... my bash command prompt seems to have turned into vim (or at least vim commands work now and I seem to have insert and command modes). How do I get my normal bash command line back? (I miss being able to do Ctrl+arrow to jump through words).

Probably a totally n00b question, but I'm just a young vim grasshopper at this point...

edit: Read the post correctly

edit .bashrc and replace set -o vi on line 169 with set -o emacs. If this does not exist (due to the resotre command you issued) you can either log out and back in or type . ~/.bashrc

Thanks Jan! To get the Ctrl+arrow stuff working, I also had to replace the .inputrc file: cp /etc/inputrc ~/.inputrc As mentioned here: stackoverflow.com/questions/5029118/…
