I use these settings in my .inputrc. The get me a few more commands and even the ability to escape using jj.

    set completion-ignore-case On
    set bell-style none
    set editing-mode vi

    $if mode=vi
      set keymap vi-command
      "gg": beginning-of-history
      "G": end-of-history
      set keymap vi-insert
      "jj": vi-movement-mode
      "\C-p": history-search-backward
