Author bash: How to use 'set -o vi' and still be able to use ctrl-a, ctrl-e etc.

Is it possible to use VI mode in bash and still be able to use ctrl-a,
ctrl-e, ctrl-l and ctrl-w like they work in Emacs mode? These key
sequences are hard wired into my brain after using emacs mode in the
shell for such a long time.

Most ctrl-<key> sequences don't seem to conflict with the VI key
sequences, is it possible to make them available in the VI mode?

TIA,

Erik.
