bindkey to INS

[Konstantin Sobolev]

Hi,

Is it possible to bind an INS key to accept-and-menu-complete?
All my attempts like
bindkey -M menuselect "${key[Insert]}" accept-and-menu-complete
doesn't work, pressing Insert just prints a "~".

Also, is it possible to bind a couple of commands to the same key, like
bindkey "^Z" "kill-line; accept-line"?

thanks

Try "${terminfo[kich1]}" if you have a working terminfo setup.

This appears to be a bug with menu-selection, not with bindkey.  I
can't make any key binding of more than 3 characters work with the
menuselect keymap.  I've tried as far back as zsh-4.0.6, so it is
not something new with UTF-8 support or the like.

You need to create a widget.

    function accept-leftward {
	zle kill-line
	zle accept-line
    }
    zle -N accept-leftward
    bindkey \^Z accept-leftward

Are you sure you want to be using the menuselect keymap?

BTW I am using comma (,) for this; it has nice semantic of list separator and 
is available irrespectively of terminfo correctness and terminal emulation 
weirdness :)

And for a-a-i-n-h '/' is just as nice as it is mostly (if ot exclusively) 
useful for file system walk and '/' is natural path separator.

PS of course bug is bug ans should be fixed.

thanks for clarification. Will use "," for now :)
