Hi,
from your prompt type
>bindkey
then
> zstyle
to see what you've got setup and may have forgotten about
my favorite
bindkey -M viins '^O' copy-prev-word
"^O" copy-prev-word
allows me to type say
> cp longfilename.tex ^O
> cp longfilename.tex longfilename.tex
which I then modify
Your most useful binding?

Definately
bindkey "ESC-[A" history-search-backward
bindkey "ESC-[B" history-search-forward
(the values of the keys may change according to your terminal. I
should use a termcap to get it actually, except I'm too lazy to look
it up ; they are really up and down arrow)
Type the beginning of a command, and you can navigate through your
history lines that begin with what you typed. Exactly the same thing
as the default binding, except it's more powerful.
Only that messes up zed, because it only accepts up-line-or-history to
go up. I suggested a patch on the zsh-workers mailing list long ago
that Bart greatly improved, but it never made it into the CVS.
Also, these are set by default but not that much known, so I'd like to mention
bindkey "ESC-q" push-line
...which pushes the current line onto a stack and pops it when a new
prompt appears. Useful when you started typing something, then you
realize you have to execute some other command before the one you were
typing.
and
bindkey "ESC-." insert-last-word
...which inserts the last word of the previous command, exactly like
your ^O binding does with the current line.

A patch for zed? Searching the archives, I can't find anything that
mentions you, me, and zed in the same article. I did find the 2004
thread "Re: .zshrc sanity check" where PWS proposed a vared patch to
make zed use its own keymap ... but that patch appears to have been
applied.

Hmmm...
Indeed I was referring to that thread, I misremembered the one who
wrote the final patch *sorry Peter*...
I think I misunderstood something at that time, like the patch would
bind a new keymap to zed *and configure it*, and that I shouldn't have
to add lines in my configuration file to have zed rebind the keys.
Re-reading it now makes it so obvious I'm really ashamed to have just
lived with it for one year and a hald when I only needed to undestand
what Peter said.
Ok well my saying crap again will have pointed out the fact that
there's this simple way to have zed use the keys you like :)

Wouldn't copy-prev-shell-word be even more useful for that purpose?
It handles things like cp filename\ with\ spaces.txt ^O
> Your most useful binding?
Hmm, I can't name just one. But I couldn't imagine using zsh
without the following:
bindkey '^[[A' history-beginning-search-backward # "Up"
bindkey '^[[B' history-beginning-search-forward # "Down"
bindkey -s '^[[5~' 'cds\r' # "PageUp"
Just in case you are wondering what that 'cds' is, it is an
interactive way to select a directory from the directory
stack-treated-as-history, along the lines of a similar feature in
4nt:
cds () {
local DIR="$PWD"
if [[ ! -z "$dirstack" ]]; then
DIR=$(print -rl $dirstack | tac \
| iselect -a -f -n chdir -Q "$PWD" -t "Change directory to..." -p ${#dirstack})
fi
cd "$DIR"
}
As you can see, it requires 'iselect' utility that is available as
a Debian package, for example. (I wish I could implement an
iselect replacement using only zsh/zle.) Also, in order to be
useful it requires you to setopt auto_pushd. I also setopt
pushd_ignore_dups and set DIRSTACKSIZE to a reasonably large value.

What I was going to say as well, but thanks for introducing
copy-prev-word to me, as I was wanting that functionality but hadn't
found it earlier.

Like Vim does it. I have only one binding for these:
bindkey "^X^L" history-beginning-search-backward
That's also how Vim does it, in insert mode.
My most useful binding is
_sudo-command-line() {
[[ $BUFFER != sudo\ * ]] && LBUFFER="sudo $LBUFFER"
}
zle -N sudo-command-line _sudo-command-line
bindkey "^Os" sudo-command-line
as I always forget to add a sudo...

Here's my version of a command like that:
~/.zsh/functions/d:
# contents: d command.
#
# Copyright © 2005 Nikolai Weibull <nikolai@bitwi.se>
emulate -L zsh
autoload -U colors
local color=$fg_bold[blue]
integer i=0
dirs -p | while read dir; do
local num="${$(printf "%-4d " $i)/ /.}"
printf " %s $color%s$reset_color\n" $num $dir
(( i++ ))
done
integer dir=-1
read -r 'dir?Jump to directory: ' || return
(( dir == -1 )) && return
if (( dir < 0 || dir >= i )); then
echo d: no such directory stack entry: $dir
return 1
fi
cd ~$dir
I don't know how iselect works, but this works very well for me.

I'm using menu completion for this:
bindkey "^Z" "menu-complete"
bindkey -s '\ec' 'cd -^Z'

I'm using something very similar:
zle -N select-from-cd-stack
select-from-cd-stack() {
LBUFFER=$LBUFFER"~+"
zle menu-complete
if [[ ${LBUFFER[-2,-1]} = "~+" ]]; then
LBUFFER=${LBUFFER[1,-3]}
fi
}
bindkey '\ed' select-from-cd-stack
The advantage is that I can also use it for other commands like cp (for
example when I want to copy a file from a directory in the stack to the
current one). And since I have setopt auto_cd, I can instantly jump to
directories in the stack.
Another (default) binding that I really like is:
bindkey "^[h" run-help

BTW, I've just seen that it doesn't work when the command starts with
a backslash (to avoid aliases). I assume that this is a bug.

You mean run-help on \ls doesn't work? The shell doesn't know what the
run-help alias/function is going to do with the information so provides
exactly what it got. Using a more sophisticated version of run-help would
do the trick; even turning "man $1" into "eval man $1" would work.
However, that's a little dangerous to have as the default.
(GNU man seems to accept "man '\ls'", as it happens.)

Slightly more helpfully, here is the run-help function supplied with the
shell enhanced to strip quotes (and suppress alias lookup for the stripped
word) when that makes a difference.

It tries to call run-help on \ls instead of ls. What I mean is that
run-help should drop the backslash.

No, it doesn't.

Mmm, difficult to say... Probably <ESC>-<ESC>, which I have bound
to "kill-buffer", to clean the command line when I have "running

My ^Q (push-line-or-edit) is very useful for me, too.
Really, the entire Zle thing is superb. If it were a library...
But nobody is perfect (Zle is *almost* perfect, then). ;)))

cd old new
eg I'm in directory

and I want to cd to

well just do
cd 42 35

Hi,
It can be very useful to set a "marker" variable when you are copying/comparing files in complicated
and different paths
eg in directory
>cd /xx/yy/ggg/ccc/
type
>S=`pwd`
Then from anywhere else you can type
>cp $S/somefile<TAB> .
Where the <TAB> indicates that all of zsh's completions work
A useful alias to automate this
alias SRC='S=`pwd`;echo "S=$S"'

You could use $PWD instead of `pwd`.

Use zsh's autopushd option and refer to "S" as ~1 (or ~n). That's much
simpler.

I type ~- and then press tab to get a list of all the dirs i've been
in, and ~+ is the shortest alias for $PWD that i found.

cd ~-<TAB> then type number of directory to cd to it!!!
Superkool,
but when I put this in my .zshenv it asks
ignore insecure directories and files and continue [ny]?
compinit: initialization aborted
how do I get it to default to y and what does insecure in this context mean?

It means some files somewhere have the wrong permissions, ie someone
other than you and root could write to them and run arbitrary code.
Check in $PREFIX/share/zsh/* and your .z* files, they should be 644 or
so. Maybe if you run with zsh -x it will print which file it is, not
sure.
