...missing one bash-feature

...missing one bash-feature

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

there is one feature of the bash which I miss in zsh -- may be 
by not knowing it.

Suppose in bash I do the following:
bash> ls onefile.txt twofile.txt threefile.txt
bash> rm _____

instead of '_____' I press instead

ALT - 2 ALT .

and get the 'last - 2' argument of the previous command, which is
'onefile.txt'

Is there a way to mimic or simulate the same behaviour in zsh or is
there a even better and even more intuitive way to do so?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc

This is in zsh by default unless you're using vi keybindings. If
you're not doing that on purpose, add bindkey -e to your .zshrc.

Or, if you're using vi keybindings, just add to your .zshrc:
bindkey -M viins '\e.' insert-last-word
