Problem description

The plugin seems to override the custom keymaps defined with bindkey for custom zle widgets. Here is a minimal .zshrc

  cd ..
  zle reset-prompt
  zle accept-line
}

# Create the widget
zle -N cd_up_widget
bindkey '^U' cd_up_widget
source ~/.zsh/plugins/zsh-vi-mode/zsh-vi-mode.plugin.zsh

I have gone through the section in the readme that talks about strategies to deal with zvm overriding the keymaps and I followed the last option as mentioned below to workaround this issue

source ~/.zsh/plugins/zsh-vi-mode/zsh-vi-mode.plugin.zsh
cd_up_widget() {
  cd ..
  zle reset-prompt
  zle accept-line
}

function zvm_after_init() {
zle -N cd_up_widget
bindkey '^U' cd_up_widget

}

Although this works, I am not sure if this is the best way to deal with this because it slowly has started to bloat where I have to put a lot of stuff here.

function zvm_after_init() {
source <(fzf --zsh)
zle -N cd_up_widget
bindkey '^U' cd_up_widget
bindkey '^[[A' history-substring-search-up    # up
bindkey '^[[B' history-substring-search-down # down
}

So I am wondering if there is a better way to handle this.

Reproduction steps

1. Create the zle widget and bindkey with minimal .zshrc
2. Source the plugin
3. Try the keymap bound with bindkey

Expected behavior

Plugin should not override any keymaps which are not set explicitly by this plugin else it can break functionality of lot of other plugins or custom widgets user may have written on their own.
