I do know one thing has changed sometime during the 3.x series: the bindings for insert mode and command mode are now completely separate, whereas earlier they were interdependent in a slightly ugly way. For the TAB problem, maybe bindkey -a '^i' expand-or-complete fixes things? TAB is bound in insert mode, but apparently not command mode; maybe someone else remembers this changing (it would have been a few years ago now). The -a refers to the `alternate' key map, which is the command mode map. Something similar may be going on with the other, but I'd better leave it to someone who knows that better or I'll get in a tangle. I'd be happy to read through your chapter on zsh; there may be other takers. Regards, Peter Stephenson -- Peter Stephenson Work: pws@csr.com Web: http://www.pwstephenson.fsnet.co.uk
