forward-word?

forward-word?

[Jari Kokko]

Is the forward-word behaviour intentionally different from GNU Emacs?

If I type Ctrl-a, Meta-f the cursor ends up 
with zsh:
            aaaa    bbbb    cccc
                    ^
with emacs:
            aaaa    bbbb    cccc
                ^

(zsh 3.0.2, emacs 19.34)

I'd like to change this, and tried 'bindkey | grep forw' but found
nothing interesting.

I have the following in my .zshrc, which accomplishes what you want.
However it still leaves me wondering why this is not the default
behavior.  (Ksh's emacs mode is bound like GNU emacs's.)

bindkey -me
bindkey '\Mf' emacs-forward-word
bindkey '\MF' emacs-forward-word
bindkey '\M^h' backward-kill-word

Thank you kindly,

Exactly what I was looking for, and more (the C-M-h was another thing
I missed).

I was careless and didn't check the zshzle(1) man page, sorry for the
noise.

Shouldn't emacs mode be as close to emacs as possible by default,
though?
