I will press Ctrl-X Ctrl-E to bring up Vim to edit the command, then
I have the full capacity of my Vim. My setting is:

autoload -Uz edit-command-line
zle -N edit-command-line
bindkey '^X^E' edit-command-line

Also, moving by words (Alt-b/f) is a little faster. I don't use counts
very much because I always get the wrong count.

If you like, you can use the mouse: http://stchaz.free.fr/mouse.zsh
