bindkey -M viins $terminfo[kcuu1] up-line-or-history
replace $terminfo[kcuu1] with your favorite cursor-up esc sequence; I was lazy
to look it up. Actually, the above is quite portable (better is probably
${terminfo[kcuu1]-some fallback}, but I'm not sure if it really works).
I believe, change was deliberate, but I forgot the reasons ... it was really
long time - I think over three years. And I switched over to emacs binding
long ago (but have been using something similar before).
Anyway, in vi mode (bindkey -v) you have two keymaps - viins (for input) and
vicmd (for command mode). To change key binding use 'bindkey -M <keymap>'
