For a proper "ide" that works in the shell I would say you best bet is either
vim or emacs.
vim's mode of operation is that you have two modes, a command mode and an
editing mode.
emacs is more in the spirit of "Standard" editors where you use key modifiers
for commands instead of a command mode.
Other than that they are both very powerful with a lot of extensions and
syntax highlighting (I believe that it should also work in shell mode, it does
work in the console)
