So I can get bold at a cost of shift* to get the star.

Or I can do ESC enable-this-mode-option and then press a single key.

I'm struggling with this. If it's cheaper in keystrokes to type the codes inline why enable the mode?

This isn't a vi vs emacs hate thing, It's a key count efficiency thing. I don't see the motivation even if translated to minimum prefix TAB complete terms. Its like 20x more presses.
