Research direction

Start by locating the existing ValidateAndAcceptLine implementation and the Vi insert- and command-mode handlers in PSReadLine. Compare how the existing function accepts a line, then add the requested ViValidateAndAcceptLine behavior for command mode and verify that it matches the existing function's behavior.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Currently, if the edit mode is set to Vi, ValidateAndAcceptLine works only in insert mode. This new function ViValidateAndAcceptLine could offer the same functionality of the existing function, but in command mode as well.
