binding key sequence to command and accept-line

binding key sequence to command and accept-line

[Eric Smith]

How would I with a key sequence like for example <esc> r 
print a file?  viz.

$ somefile.ps
`<esc> r'
$ lpr somefile.ps<accept-line>

thanx

Old-style (pre zsh-4):


  bindkey -s '^alpr \n'


Probably good enough, although it assumes emacs bindings (the ^a in
particular).

New-style:


lpr-line() {
	   LBUFFER="lpr $LBUFFER"
	   zle accept-line
}
zle -N lpr-line
bindkey '\er' lpr-line


More flexible but otherwise pretty much the same.
