Hello List!
I did the following:
$ listdir() { ls -l }
$ zle -N listdir
$ bindkey '^V' listdir
If then I press ^V, the directory is listed, but I have to press a key in
order to get my command line back. I tried wierd hacks with 'zle -R' or
'zle -M' for that, but there was no solution. Any hints on that?
Thanks!

listdir() { ls -l; zle redisplay }
should do the trick.

Problem with that is the beginning of the ls listing can get a little
mixed up with what is currently on the command line.
I would use:
bindkey -s '^V' $'\eqls -l\n'
Note that that relies on my also having:
bindkey '^[q' push-input

The following widget seems to give a reasonable combination of features.
The difference between zle -R and zle redisplay isn't that obvious. You use
zle -R to make editing changes visible, and zle redisplay when it's
necessary to reshow everything completely.
listdir() {
zle push-input # Save the input for later
zle -R # Show new line with no input
print # Clear the line with the prompt
ls -l # Show the listing
zle redisplay # Redisplay the entire line
zle get-line # Get back the input
}
(It doesn't seem to beep if there's no input to push and get back, but I
have so many guards to stop the damn thing beeping that I can't be
sure. If it does, extra protection of the form (( ${#BUFFER} )) is
necessary.)
