# Readline has a bunch of special-case bindings just for vi mode, which means we
# can't just add Kakoune-style bindings; instead, we must build Kakoune-style
# bindings from combinations of other (usually emacs-based) commands. BUT
# Readline doesn't support binding a key to a sequence of commands; instead,
# we bind commands to a likely-unused portion of the keymap, and then bind
# our actual keys to sequences of those unusual keys.
