Thanks for pointing this out. When I switched zsh to vi mode, I
really missed good old Esc-Q. I had thought that vi mode grabbed
Esc (for switching from viins to vicmd) in such a way that Esc-Q
couldn't be made to work, but your example above showed me a way
to make it work perfectly. And it's much better to stick with
default key mappings like Esc-Q than to invent new alternatives.
