setopt hist_verify

Note: if you *really* want to be able to edit your command-line with
something with the full power of a text editor, then sometimes there's
no substitute for a text-editor.

bindkey '^[v' edit-command-line

Then pressing esc-v will invoke $VISUAL (else $EDITOR, else vi) as a
text-editor for adjusting the current command-line.  So <up> and then
<esc>-v will let you do as much as you need.

Be careful to not suspect the text-editor, only save and exit when
you're done.
