Re: A wrong bindkey command breaks the way bck-i-search (Ctrl+R) works

Thank you very much for all the answers. If I may have one more question -
hopefully the last one on this topic. ;-)

As I mentioned before, I used a similar function to take care of " and '
characters.
- Pressing a " inserts two of them and places the cursor inside the pair.
Pressing an ' works in a similar fashion.
- Pressing a backspace inside the pair ("|" or '|', where | is the cursor)
deletes both quotes - the left and the right at the same time.

Now, binding the backspace breaks it for isearch.

zle -N insert-single-quotes _insert_single_quotes
zle -N insert-double-quotes _insert_double_quotes
zle -N remove-quotes _remove_quotes
bindkey "'" insert-single-quotes    # " ' "
bindkey '"' insert-double-quotes    # ' " '
bindkey "^?" remove-quotes    # backspace remove the whole pair
bindkey -M isearch '^?' self-insert    # This does NOT restore the original
functionality.

Instead of restoring the original functionality (deleting the last char),
^? is just inserted into the searched text.

Best regards,
Peter
