If it can be done in a widget, it probably should be. The function interface in 3.1 is now powerful enough that you need a very good reason for adding something to the basic shell. We can easily add new zle widget functions to the distribution which are essentially indistinguishable from hard-coded functions but don't add to the shell and can be modified. One day they may be made more easily configurable along the lines of the new completion system. By the way, I said you couldn't do a minibuffer read, but using `zle -R string...' you can make it look as if you can. -- Peter Stephenson Cambridge Silicon Radio, Unit 300, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0XL, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070
