Ah, yep. There's the disconnect. I do too much with Vim's
insert-completion to think of that as "completion".
In any case, the following seems to work like Vim's command-line
completion:
bindkey "^[[A" history-beginning-search-backward
bindkey "^[[B" history-beginning-search-forward
^[[A == up arrow, ^[[B == down. Sounds like you want ^n and ^p, too.
