Your ksh is now using vi editing mode instead of emacs.
You can verify this by hitting esc, then i and you can then type
normally, but with some different conditions.
If you want to keep this, hit esc and k for earlier commands, j for
later commands.

I use both vi and emacs editing modes (this has nothing to do with the
actual editors. man ksh will help.
vi editing mode has very similar commands to the vi editor.
