transpose-words worked for few seconds

[Sebastian Gniazdowski]

Hello,
I've added to ~/.zshrc:
  bindkey "^[t" transpose-words

I use bindkey -v. Pressing Alt-t worked like 5 times, then stopped.
Now it never works, even after rebotting machine. I think it can be
assumed that it doesn't work and worked by accident.

Tried without bindkey -v, with bindkey "^Y" instead of "^[t". Entering
"a b" and pressing key combination doesn't change anything. Entering
"a b " swaps "b" and the last space, and does this once, without
swapping back.

Tried on zsh 5.0.2, 5.0.8 and 5.2. OS X.

Best regards,
Sebastian Gniazdowski

You have to position the cursor on the first character of the word you
want to transpose with the one before it.

So "ab cd" will be swapped to "ab dc" when cursor is on "d". That's
quite weird, I think I used different widget long before, it didn't
require to position cursor like that, but maybe I'm wrong

Theoretically, but practically transpose-words works really
strange on one-letter words, probably because it has trouble to
properly decide which word the cursor is pointing at.

Starting with "a b c d" using transpose-word repeatedly ("*"
denotes the cursor position):

  a b c d*
  a c b*d   (swapped the wrong words and screwed up cursor position)
  a c d b*
  a d c*b   (ditto)
  a d b c*
  a b d*c   (ditto)
  a b c d*
  ...

But

  aa bb cc dd*
  aa bb dd cc*
  aa bb cc dd*
  ...

(zsh 4.3.17)

I cannot reproduce that on 5.0.8. Maybe I remember correctly and
transpose-words used to work differently in past? I tried positioning
cursor after d (nothing happens) and at d (c and d are swapped)
