Predefine the next buffer

Predefine the next buffer

Hi,

I try to have that will define the next content of my buffer. For example:
I run a command 'foo' and the next command will be pre-write with 'bar' (or
replace 'foo' by 'bar'). I imagine made it with a function, but I can't use
zle to manipulate the buffer, it seems to be required to use a widget and
run it from a shortcut.

Anyone have already tried this? Do you know how I can make it?

Thanks

So "foo" is something like  a shell function thatʼs going to do some
stuff, and you want it also to set up the next editing command line for
you?

Try this:

foo() {
  print -z bar
}

(BTW user questions really belong on zsh-users.)

Exactly this! Thank you very much.
