How can I get back into "normal" edit-mode after pressing esc in zsh (vi mode)? I'm using `zsh` in `vi-mode`. When I go to normal mode with `ESC` and then back into insert mode (for example using `i`, `a` or `s`), the line editor kind of "protects" the part of the line in front of the char, at which I was when re-entering insert mode. I fixed it for the backspace char by rebinding it with bindkey "^?" backward-delete-char But there are still other bindings like `^W` that don't work out of the box (probably because they are bound to `vi-*`). If I understand it correctly, this behavior is normal to `vi`. Is there's a way to make `zle` behave like `vim` without having to rebind so many keys?

AFAICT, the only problematic widgets are:


vi-backward-delete-char
vi-kill-line
vi-backward-kill-word


So you could do


zle -A kill-whole-line vi-kill-line
zle -A backward-kill-word vi-backward-kill-word
zle -A backward-delete-char vi-backward-delete-char
