using vi-keys or cursor to go back a line?

using vi-keys or cursor to go back a line?

[Matthias Kopfermann]

hi list,

one thing that i seem to not get:
how can i do something like the following:

/home/matthias% echo "
this
is
just
a 
test  << at this point i want to go back and change
this with that. but with k or cursor-back i get history,
not line, so then i hit contrl-c and everything is fine,
when i go back a line now. 
i just thought , there might be a better way
and i am nearly sure, i overlooked something,
right?

Yep. Almost. You can bind push-line-or-edit to your key of choice and
then use that key to get the lines into one buffer where you can go up 
with the normal cursor movement keys.

There is no zle function that allows to go up to previous lines
directly while at the secondary prompt.

Bye
 Sven
