How can I set the default bash/zsh mode to vi command mode instead of vi insert mode?

So in my bash/zsh terminals I have the set -o vi. But then I need to press ESC to get into command mode. I can't figure out how I could make that command mode the default behavior?

You can achieve that behaviour with 'xdotool'. Install it and add this to your ~/.bashrc then

set -o vi
xdotool key Escape
