Indeed, vi mode's "u" behaves like the the original BSD "vi" (and ksh),
where "u" only undoes one change (and repeating it redoes the change).

Personally, I would have liked the default to emulate not the old vi, but
rather vim, with which more people should be be familiar these days, and
its multi-level undo and redo.

To emulate vim's multi-level undo and redo, here is what I use in my .zshrc:

	bindkey -a u undo
	bindkey -a '^R' redo

By the way this overrides zsh's default mapping of ^R which is "redisplay".
What am I losing by doing this? (I didn't see "redisplay" does anything...)

Moreover, I also like to have undo in insert mode, especially to be able to
undo completions, so I also have:

	bindkey -v '^Z' undo
	bindkey -v '^R' redo
