moving to end of line

moving to end of line

[Skye Poier]

Hi everyone, I'm a recent tcsh convert, and loving it :)
Got everything just the way I like it, except one minor niggling detail.

When I scroll up and down through history with:

bindkey "^[[A"  history-beginning-search-backward
bindkey "^[[B"  history-beginning-search-forward

It would be really nice to have the cursor moved to the END of the line,
because 99% of the time I just need to change a bit of text on the end
of the command.  Is there a way to do that?

I've "setopt ALWAYS_TO_END" but that's only for completion apparently.

(by the way, it would be really nice to be able to specify termcap
entries with bindkey)

Thanks!
Skye

I'll leave this question to a widget wizard.

I use this:

# Usage: bindtc <cap> <default> <zsh-command>
# If <cap> is unavailable, use <default>
bindtc () 
{
	local keyval=$(echotc "$1" 2>&-)
	[[ $keyval == "no" ]] && keyval=""
	bindkey "${keyval:-$2}" "$3"
}

autoload -U history-search-end
zle -N history-beginning-search-backward-end history-search-end
zle -N history-beginning-search-forward-end history-search-end
bindkey '\e[A' history-beginning-search-backward-end
bindkey '\e[B' history-beginning-search-forward-end
