As long as we're revisiting this discussion and adding things like the new NUMERIC parameter, allow me to direct your attention to these old zsh-workers postings and any associated threads: http://www.zsh.org/cgi-bin/mla/redirect?WORKERNUMBER=3D4067 http://www.zsh.org/cgi-bin/mla/redirect?WORKERNUMBER=3D4073 (Bug report= ) http://www.zsh.org/cgi-bin/mla/redirect?WORKERNUMBER=3D4099 (Bug report= ) http://www.zsh.org/cgi-bin/mla/redirect?WORKERNUMBER=3D4568 I'm strongly in favor of having zle widget functions return a useful value (see 4067) and Zefram even agreed with me, but I don't think anything ever came of it.
