Previously, the Enter key in vi mode was hardcoded to return ReedlineEvent::Enter before checking custom keybindings. This meant users could not override Enter behavior in vi_insert or vi_normal modes, unlike emacs mode which correctly checked keybindings first. This fix makes vi mode consistent with emacs mode by checking keybindings before falling back to default Enter behavior. Fixes the issue where custom keybindings like abbreviation expansion menus would work with Space but not Enter in vi mode.

@sholderbach @fdncred - Would appreciate a review when you get a chance! This fix is blocking my ability to use nushell with vim-style fish abbreviations. Happy to make any changes needed. |

ReedlineEvent::EnterProblem

Check keybindings first via
find_binding(), fall back to default Enter behavior only if no custom binding exists. This matches how emacs mode already handles Enter.flowchart TD A[Enter key pressed in vi mode] --> B{Custom keybinding exists?} B -->|Yes| C[Execute custom binding] B -->|No| D[Default: ReedlineEvent::Enter]Testing
Tested with nushell's abbreviation expansion menu - Enter now correctly triggers the menu before submitting, matching Space behavior.
