Ok, that would work in this simple example. But actually I want to do
some more stuff (the code above was just a minimal working example),
here is the function:

 9 replace-pacman-command() {
10   if [[ $LBUFFER = "pacman"* ]]; then
11      zle beginning-of-line
12      zle forward-word
13      zle delete-word
14      zle -U -- $@
15      zle end-of-line
16   fi
17 }
18
19 replace-pacman-command-insert() {
20   replace-pacman-command "-S"
21 }
22
23 zle -N replace-pacman-command-insert
24 bindkey "^[i" replace-pacman-command-insert


I think doing this directly via BUFFER gets quickly unreadable.
