Hello Oliver,

Thanks for the reply. Just to make sure if we understand each other.

in vim
1. press I for insert mode
2. type "asdf"
3. ESC for normal mode
4. press "shift-a" for append
5. press "ctrl-u" <- clears the line till the beginning

in zsh with vi-mode
1. (its in insert mode by default)
2. type "asdf"
3. ESC for normal mode
4. press "shift-a" for append
5. press "ctrl-u" <- nothing happens.

I thought its a bug. But if it is intended behavior, let it be this way.
