  1. Kill pure Vi key bindings, use hybrid behavior instead

    I find pure Vi mode very unpleasant to use because it doesn't define
    shortcuts like Control-n and Control-f. Judging by the number of references
    to "fish_vi_key_bindings" in public github repos, it seems that many users
    don't know about "fish_hybrid_key_bindings" (unless they prefer the other
    for some unknown reason?).
    
    As far as I'm concerned, hybrid bindings are strictly better than Vi ones.
    Let's avoid this easy user error and make both use the hybrid behavior.
    
    Hybrid mode is nice because it reduces the friction of learning Vi mode,
    because most Emacs key work the same way. Similarly, it reduces friction
    caused by some of our bugs and missing features in Vi mode, because one
    can simply fall back to the Emacs binding.
