We are trying to emulate vi, rather than ksh. As a vi user, I find the new bindings much more intuitive -- ? is a backward search, so that's what I use to search backward through the history. >I've used a couple bindkeys in my own .zshrc to switch the two >functions (putting "backwards" back on "/"), but I'm pushing others >here to switch from ksh to zsh, and I think the default behavior >will confuse them (since the default bindings work exactly opposite >as ksh in vi mode). Anybody (dis)agree with switching them back? If you really want to have the default state match ksh, give everyone a .zshrc including these bindings. -zefram
