bindkey extensions ought to be unproblematic --- you'll see there's
already a zed keymap which binds ^x^w to accept-line.

What we really need is to separate that out so we can set up a default
keyboard and map early before zed actually runs, giving the user the
opportunity to override it.  Perhaps this could be a zed-setup function
that zed will call itself if it hasn't yet been run.
