Hi,
I've been using these for a while and it's time for me to share
them... It involves `creative' use of zle... It's zsh's answer to
emacs's query-replace.
How to use:
1. You need the read-within-zle function.
2. Drop read-within-zle and query-replace along your fpath
3. Add the following to your .zshrc:
autoload -zU query-replace read-within-zle
zle -N query-replace
bindkey "^[%" query-replace
bindkey "\M-%" query-replace # only if using bindkey -m
4. Use M-x query-replace or M-% to start query-replace'ing.
Enclose these in the zsh distribution if you find them useful. Both
functions are GPL'ed but I'm willing to change the license if needed
for inclusion into zsh.
Phil.

Seems like it might be useful.
Some problems I had.
1) Didn't handle backspace (vs. del) well, and other non-self-insert keys
2) If I was at the eol, it did nothing.
Also, a feature request for zle that will be rejected by workers...
3) Some sort of highlighting capability in zle, to see the selection.

Nope, from within query-replace, the only recognized keys are:
- backspace: erase one character
- enter: terminate string
- CTRL-C: abort
Improvements for read-within-zle are welcome.

That's a feature: substitutions only happen after the current
position... Like in emacs.

Can't do anything about this, unless someone extends zle.
