You probably have EDITOR set to vi - from which zsh assumes vi editing
mode. ("man zshzle" or "man zshall")

To fix it, put "bindkey -e" in your .zshrc.

bash is perfectly good now, but zsh does everything bash can, plus it
helps migrate the tcsh/csh diehards. Anything that discourages people
from accidentally producing csh scripts is a good thing. ::-)
