Hi,
`copy-earlier-word' works well (cycles through words on the same history line) with
`insert-last-word', but it fails with `smart-insert-last-word'. The code appears to check for `[[
$LASTWIDGET = *insert-last-word ]]'. Does someone know what's wrong here? I'm using a week old
cvs version on Linux.

The problem is that smart-insert-last-word counts shell parser "word"
tokens, whereas insert-last-word counts ZLE words (i.e., the substrings
that forward-word and backward-word move across); copy-earlier-word
always runs `zle .insert-last-word ...', so it won't always pick the
same word as smart-insert-last-word.
(Most of the Functions/Zle widgets were designed independently of one
another, and no concerted effort has been made to make sure that they
all cooperate. The `*insert-last-word' test is just meant to cover
insert-last-word both with and without the leading dot -- it's an
accident that it also matches smart-insert-last-word.)
In order to fix this, smart-insert-last-word has to be modified to
accept the two arguments that insert-last-word accepts, and then
copy-earlier-word has to store the value of $LASTWIDGET for re-use
the same way it stores __copyword. I have no patch at this point.
