You can do this from 3.1.6 (i.e., from next week, if you're waiting for the
released version). You have to set the ZBEEP parameter. By the way, the
strings in the documentation below were deduced from the fact that I use
xterm with inverse video turned on --- if I've got it wrong for the other
sort, please let me know.
ZBEEP
If set, this gives a string of characters, which can use all
the same codes as the bindkey command as described in the
zle module entry in zshmodules(1), that will be output to
the terminal instead of beeping. This may have a visible
instead of an audible effect; for example, the string
`\e[?5h\e[?5l' on a vt100 or xterm will have the effect of
flashing reverse video on and off (if you usually use
reverse video, you should use the string `\e[?5l\e[?5h'
instead). This takes precedence over the NOBEEP option.
