The script is fundamentally dependent on Bash features -- it's binding 
keys in the Bash interactive shell -- and cannot be made POSIX compliant.

It's also part of the fzf project, and making extensive changes like 
that as part of packaging someone else's code seems to rather negate the 
point in doing the packaging.
