JED's emulation mode can be set in /etc/jed.d/*.sl, ~/.jed/jed.rc
or via the command line option -e.
/usr/share/doc/jed/examples provides example files for the first two options.
* replace the standard emulations 'emacs', 'ide', 'cua', ... with 'vi'
* /usr/share/doc/jed/examples/jed.conf is from the upstream documentation. On
Debian, the modified file should go to e.g. /etc/jed.d/90local.sl
Unfortunately, the man page is outdated and does not document the option -e.
However, jed --help shows it. For vi emulation, the command would be one of
jed -e vi
xjed -e vi
if you have a user config file and want to override it, combine this with
the option -n: (x)jed -n -e vi.
That said, I agree that the documentation can be improved.
