How to activate ctrl+r in zsh history if I use keyboard shortcut for vim?

Question

vim

Hello. Decided to use keyboard shortcut for vim in bash terminal. I actually use zsh, but I don't think it plays a big role in solving this problem.
So, that keyboard shortcut works, but ctrl+r for history doesn't.
I poked around on the net, but could not find a solution.
Thanks in advance for your help.

bind -Pwill show all active key combinations. What outputs bind -P | grep 'C-r'? What outputs bind -P | grep reverse-search-history?
