In ksh93 r+ and s-, in vi edit mode, all cursor keys work fine on my test 
systems, just like in ?macs mode. Have you tried already?

So the main difference between vi and ?macs mode for me is the need to use one 
of the vi commands like a, i, or cw to start inserting characters in vi mode. As 
this might be a problem for beginners or those that come from bash, I am fine 
with a default "gmacs" setting.
