Since I _do_ use (x)emacs, where ^a is very useful, I prefer to go in
a different direction -- the following works well for me, as Meta-a
(backward-sentence) is not something I ever used:
bindkey "^[a" command
bindkey "^a" stuff b
bindkey "^a" stuff ^a
This has the effect of
escape ^[aa
except that that isn't a legal/recognised invocation of the escape
option.
If anyone knows a less roundabout way of achieving the above, I'd be
happy to learn. . .
