In bash we can prepend a command with # and insert the non-executed command into our history. Is there a way to achieve similar behavior through some shortcuts or keybinds?

In vi (set -o vi) mode, you can hit ESC and then #; that will prepend the current command with # and enter it -- harmlessly into the shell as a commented command and also into the command history.
