Subject: Path to fix copy-earlier-word handling of numeric arguments
Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2024 02:39:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <03af2fe1-21d3-65cb-4bfe-d8e84c79c2dd@huyz.us> (raw)

As initially submitted at https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/pull/116 :

------------------------------------------------------------------------

As mentioned in the code comment:

   # 1 means last word, 2 second last, etc.

the numeric argument is supposed to be interpreted as an offset from the 
end.

The intended behavior is a lot more useful than the current behavior.
