Setting magic-space in /etc/zshrc

Setting magic-space in /etc/zshrc

[Sebastian Gniazdowski]

Hello,
let's have in /etc/zshrc:

bindkey ' ' magic-space
bindkey ' '

When shell startups, it shows: " " magic-space. When I issue "bindkey
' '", it shows self-insert. That's the point. However space apparently
is really bound to magic-space, despite it shows " " self-insert. I
had a widget that was overriding self-insert and it wasn't called on
space untill I've added bindkey ' ' self-insert to startup block.

Tested on Fedora 23 / zsh-5.1.1. It has space bound to magic-space by
default. I've tried doing so (via /etc/zshrc, like on Fedora) on OS X
and the problem reproduces. However, funny part is: not if I start the
shell again via zsh-5.2 -i (the same way iTerm2 starts it).

Best regards,
Sebastian Gniazdowski

I'm not able to reproduce this on OSX with 5.0.2 or a recent build of
5.2-dev-1 (the only OS/versions I have accessable at the moment).  If
happening, this may have something to do with the emacs / vicmd keymaps
selected automatically by examining the VISUAL / EDITOR environment
settings, such that you are seeing/binding one keymap in /etc/zshrc and
another later.

You are apparently right. I have bindkey -v. Removing it on Fedora
causes bindkey ' ' to display magic-space also after complete startup.
In the widget, I was creating own keymap by copying it from emacs. So
it had the /etc/zshrc influence in it. However, I was also doing some
checks while debugging: added bindkey ' ' to overriding self-insert
widget – shown self-insert. Added magic-space override – and it wasn't
called on space.
