I've created some custom key bindings for bash vi mode. They trigger while I'm in insert mode and I want them instead to trigger when I'm in normal mode.

I'm using vi mode

set -o vi

in a terminal emulator on Ubuntu 14.04 server. So far I have remapped:

^ — Move to start of line

 

$ — Move to end of line

To the following:

<space>a — Move to start of line

 

<space>; — Move to end of line

Using the bash built-in command bind by editing .bashrc as follows:

bind " -a":beginning-of-line
bind " -;":end-of-line

These key bindings work - but they only trigger when I'm in insert mode. How do I get them only to fire only when I'm in normal mode and not in insert mode, instead?
