PATCH: default vi-mode key bindings



I would like to suggest the following changes to the default key
bindings in vi mode.

The undo bindings are a change to existing behaviour.
I think it is better that someone has to explicitly select the
vi-compatible single level undo/redo toggling and that the default is
multi-level undo with redo on Ctrl-R. Ctrl-R is currently redisplay.

The other keys are all vim bindings starting with a g prefix. gg is very
common and well known. I've bound it to beginning-of-buffer-or-history.
The beginning of history is really fairly useless but it probably needs
to be that for consistency with other keys: I only care about it going
to that start of the buffer. I'm slightly inclined to add a goto-line
to go to a line in the buffer based on numeric argument. Note that G
is bound to vi-fetch-history. That does go to the end of a buffer but
not if you're on a previous history line. I use a combination of it
with end-of-buffer-or-history in a custom widget. These should all be
line-based moves within a vi buffer so the patch also sets those flags.

Next is ga to what-cursor-position. ^G probably sooner comes to mind for
that purpose but that's currently list-expand. ga in vim gives you the
ASCII code of the character under the cursor, similarly to zsh's
what-cursor-position.

g~ is swap case (like ~) but with a movement command. I have vim's gu/gU
implemented as shell functions.

Finally, there are ge and gE for moving back to the end of the previous
word.

Any thoughts or other suggestions?

Oliver
