Redirected there.

I'd think so, yes. I'm not sure that's exactly the right thing in this

Really? What's wrong with the following?
vi-read-from-minibuffer() {
zle -K viins
zle read-from-minibuffer
}
zle -N vi-read-from-minibuffer
} However, this patch is more consistent with the existing "zle -K"
Why add a -K option after the widget name rather than allow the widget
name to follow the existing -K option and its argument? That is, why do
zle read-from-minibuffer -K viins
rather than
zle -K viins read-from-minibuffer
?? Just curious. It looks like it would be just as easy to call on
through to bin_zle_call() from bin_zle_keymap() as to embed a call to
selectkeymap() in the former.

No, I think your patch is on the right track.

As I said, there's room for an extension to select your own main and
alternate keymaps similar to vared, but this is the first step.

I meant "without rewriting the function", but yes, if you want to alter
replace-string that would be fine.

Only because of existing practice... options restricted to the widget
(like -n and -N) have tended to come after it. The latter is another
possibility. I think I marginally prefer the former anyway, unless you
have a strong preference, since the latter looks to me like an
additional argument to the keymap-setting function, rather than a widget
called in a particular context.
Also it's not *so* much easier to do it via bin_zle_keymap(), since you
need to restore the keymap afterwards, and you probably want the return
status of the widget rather than what zle -K would normally
return... but this is all fairly minor.

Yeah, but -n and -N emulate things the user can pass to the widget with
other ZLE controls, whereas there's no keymap-selection equivalent of
universal-argument.
(I suppose there could be, though. Hmm.)

I don't.

This should have been a call to zwarnnam(). I've checked in a fix.
