This sounds more like a zsh-users question than -workers, but:
I'm not sure what you mean here. I'm going guess that you're
expecting to be able to do something like
bindkey -s $'\e[15~' '$(<somefile)'
and thereby have the contents of somefile inserted into the command
line (or some similar thing) when you press F5.
This isn't what bindkey -s is meant to do. It's a keyboard shortcut
mechanism, to replace one set of keystrokes with another. The
replacement set is then also interpreted as if typed, etc.
What you (seem to, I may be guessing wrong) want is accomplished with
the widget mechanism.
function insert_somefile {
LBUFFFER+=$(<somefile)
}
zle -N insert_somefile
bindkey $'\e[15~' insert_somefile
If this doesn't resemble what you're after, you'll have to ask a more
specific question.
