Description

General information

Please report the following information as possible as you can:

  • Terminal program: kitty
  • Operating system: Manjaro
  • ZSH framework: oh-my-zsh
  • ZSH version: 5.8
  • ZVM version: 13548af

Basic examination

  • I have read through the README page
  • I have the latest version of zsh-vi-mode
  • I have tested with another terminal program

Problem description

When using the plugin, normal search behavior is gone. I mean that you can type sudo and then search all commands starting with sudo by hitting the up arrow key.

Reproduction steps

  1. Install oh-my-zsh
  2. Install ZVM
  3. See the different history searching behaviour in insert mode

Expected behavior

I would like the same behavior in insert mode as without zvm.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the plugin's keybindings for up arrow in insert mode and compare with default Zsh history search behavior. Identify the function or widget responsible and adjust to restore original behavior.
