NAME
       zshzle - zsh command line editor

DESCRIPTION
       If  the ZLE option is set (it is by default) and the shell
       input is attached to the terminal, the user is allowed  to
       edit command lines.

       There  are  two display modes.  The first, multiline mode,
       is the default.	It only works if the  TERM  parameter  is
       set  to a valid terminal type that can move the cursor up.
       The second, single line mode, is used if TERM  is  invalid
       or  incapable  of  moving  the  cursor  up, or if the SIN
       GLE_LINE_ZLE option is set.  This mode is similar to  ksh,
       and  uses  no  termcap sequences.  If TERM is "emacs", the
       ZLE option will be unset by the shell.

   Bindings
       Command bindings may be set  using  the	bindkey	 builtin.
       There  are  two	keymaps-the main keymap and the alternate
       keymap.	The alternate keymap is bound to vi command mode.
       The  main  keymap  is  bound to emacs mode by default.  To
       bind the main keymap to vi insert mode,	use  bindkey  -v.
       However,	 if one of the VISUAL or EDITOR environment vari
       ables contain the string vi when the shell starts  up  the
       main keymap will be bound to vi insert mode by default.

       The  following is a list of all the key commands and their
       default bindings in emacs mode, vi  command  mode  and  vi
       insert mode.

   Movement
       vi-backward-blank-word (unbound) (B) (unbound)
	      Move  backward one word, where a word is defined as
	      a series of non-blank characters.

       backward-char (^B ESC-[D) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Move backward one character.

       vi-backward-char (unbound) (^H h ^?) (unbound)
	      Move  backward  one  character,  without	 changing
	      lines.

       backward-word (ESC-B ESC-b) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Move to the beginning of the previous word.

       emacs-backward-word
	      Move to the beginning of the previous word.

       vi-backward-word (unbound) (b) (unbound)
	      Move  to	the  beginning	of the previous word, vi-
	      style.

ZSHZLE(1)						ZSHZLE(1)

       vi-down-line-or-history (unbound) (+) (unbound)
	      Move down a line in the buffer, or  if  already  at
	      the bottom line, move to the next event in the his

	      Move to the next event in the history list.

       history-beginning-search-backward
	      Search backward in the history for a line beginning
	      with  the	 current  line	up  to	the cursor.  This
	      leaves the cursor in its original position.

       end-of-buffer-or-history (ESC->) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Move to the end of the buffer, or if already there,
	      move to the last event in the history list.

       history-incremental-search-backward (^R ^Xr) (unbound)
       (unbound)
	      Search   backward	 incrementally	for  a	specified
	      string.  The  search  is	case-insensitive  if  the
	      search  string  does not have uppercase letters and
	      no numeric argument  was	given.	 The  string  may
	      begin  with  `^' to anchor the search to the begin
	      ning of the line. A restricted set of editing func
	      tions is available in the mini-buffer. An interrupt
	      signal, as defined by the stty setting,  will  stop
	      the  search  and	go  back to the original line. An
	      undefined key will have the same effect.	The  sup
	      ported  functions	 are:  backward-delete-char,  vi-
	      backward-delete-char,   clear-screen,    redisplay,
	      quoted-insert,  vi-quoted-insert,	 accept-and-hold,
	      accept-and-infer-next-history,   accept-line    and
	      accept-line-and-down-history;    magic-space   just
	      inserts a space.	vi-cmd-mode toggles  between  the
	      main  and	 alternate  key	 bindings;  the	 main key

	      bindings (insert mode) will be selected  initially.
	      Any  string  that	 is  bound  to an out-string (via
	      bindkey -s) will behave as if out-string were typed
	      directly.	  Typing the binding of history-incremen
	      tal-search-backward will get the next occurrence of
	      the contents of the mini-buffer. Typing the binding
	      of history-incremental-search-forward  inverts  the
	      sense  of the search.  vi-repeat-search and vi-rev-
	      repeat-search are similarly supported.  The  direc
	      tion of the search is indicated in the mini-buffer.
	      Any multi-character string that is not bound to one
	      of  the above functions will beep and interrupt the
	      search, leaving the last found line in the  buffer.
	      Any  single  character  that is not bound to one of
	      the above functions, or self-insert or self-insert-
	      unmeta,  will have the same effect but the function
	      will be executed.

       history-incremental-search-forward (^S ^Xs) (unbound)
       (unbound)
	      Search   forward	 incrementally	for  a	specified
	      string.  The  search  is	case-insensitive  if  the
	      search  string  does not have uppercase letters and
	      no numeric argument  was	given.	 The  string  may
	      begin  with  `^' to anchor the search to the begin
	      ning of the line. The functions  available  in  the
	      mini-buffer  are	the same as for history-incremen
	      tal-search-backward.

       history-search-backward (ESC-P ESC-p) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Search backward in the history for a line beginning
	      with the first word in the buffer.

       vi-history-search-backward (unbound) (/) (unbound)
	      Search  backward	in  the	 history  for a specified
	      string.  The string may begin with  `^'  to  anchor
	      the   search  to	the  beginning	of  the	 line.	A
	      restricted set of editing functions is available in
	      the mini-buffer. An interrupt signal, as defined by
	      the stty setting,	 will stop the search.	The func
	      tions  available	in  the	 mini-buffer are: accept-
	      line, vi-cmd-mode	 (treated  the	same  as  accept-
	      line),   backward-delete-char,  vi-backward-delete-
	      char,  backward-kill-word,   vi-backward-kill-word,
	      clear-screen,  redisplay, magic-space (treated as a
	      space), quoted-insert  and  vi-quoted-insert.   Any
	      string  that is bound to an out-string (via bindkey
	      -s)  will	 behave	 as  if	 out-string  were   typed
	      directly.	 Any other character that is not bound to
	      self-insert or self-insert-unmeta will beep and  be
	      ignored.	If the function is called from vi command
	      mode, the bindings of the current insert mode  will
	      be used.

	      the end of the  previous	history	 event.	  If  the
	      argument	is zero or negative insert that word from

	      Repeat the last vi mode text  modification.   If	a
	      count  was used with the modification, it is remem
	      bered.  If a count is given  to  this  command,  it
	      overrides	 the  remembered count, and is remembered
	      for future uses of this command.	 The  cut  buffer
	      specification is similarly remembered.

	      Replace the character under the cursor with a char
	      acter read from the keyboard.

       self-insert (printable characters) (unbound)  (printable

       transpose-chars (^T) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Exchange the two characters to the left of the cur
	      sor  if at end of line, else exchange the character

       transpose-words (ESC-T ESC-t) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Exchange the current word with the one before it.

       vi-unindent (unbound) (<) (unbound)
	      Unindent a number of lines.

       up-case-word (ESC-U ESC-u) (unbound) (unbound)

	      cursor position.

       yank-pop (ESC-y) (unbound) (unbound)

	      and yank the new top.  Only works following yank or
	      yank-pop.

       vi-yank (unbound) (y) (unbound)
	      Read a movement command from the keyboard, and copy
	      the region from the cursor position to the endpoint
	      of the movement into the kill buffer.  If the  com
	      mand is vi-yank, copy the current line.

       vi-yank-whole-line (unbound) (Y) (unbound)
	      Copy the current line into the kill buffer.

       vi-yank-eol
	      Copy the region from the cursor position to the end
	      of the line into the kill buffer.	  Arguably,  this
	      is  what	Y  should  do in vi, but it isn't what it
	      actually does.

   Arguments
       digit-argument (ESC-0..ESC-9) (1-9) (unbound)
	      Start a new numeric argument, or add to the current
	      one.  See also vi-digit-or-beginning-of-line.

	      tion is used.

       reverse-menu-complete
	      See the MENU_COMPLETE option below.

       accept-and-hold (ESC-A ESC-a) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Push the contents of the buffer on the buffer stack
	      and execute it.

       accept-and-infer-next-history
	      Execute the contents of the  buffer.   Then  search
	      the  history  list  for a line matching the current
	      one and push the event following	onto  the  buffer
	      stack.

       accept-line (^J ^M) (^J ^M) (^J ^M)

ZSHZLE(1)						ZSHZLE(1)

       vi-caps-lock-panic
	      Hang until any lowercase key is pressed.	 This  is
	      for  vi  users  without the mental capacity to keep
	      track of their caps lock key (like the author).

       clear-screen (^L ESC-^L) (^L) (^L)
	      Clear the screen and redraw the prompt.

       describe-key-briefly
	      Waits for a keypress then prints the function bound
	      to the pressed key.

       exchange-point-and-mark (^X^X) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Exchange	the  cursor position with the position of
	      the mark.

       execute-named-cmd (ESC-x) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Read the name of an editor command and execute  it.
	      A	 restricted set of editing functions is available
	      in the mini-buffer. An interrupt signal, as defined
	      by  the  stty setting, will abort the function. The
	      allowed functions	 are:  backward-delete-char,  vi-
	      backward-delete-char,    clear-screen,   redisplay,
	      quoted-insert, vi-quoted-insert, kill-region (kills
	      the  last	 word),	 backward-kill-word, vi-backward-
	      kill-word, kill-whole-line, vi-kill-line, backward-
	      kill-line,  list-choices, delete-char-or-list, com
	      plete-word, expand-or-complete, expand-or-complete-
	      prefix,  accept-line  and	 vi-cmd-mode (treated the
	      same as accept-line).  The space	and  tab  charac
	      ters,  if not bound to one of these functions, will
	      complete the name and then list  the  possibilities
	      if the AUTO_LIST option is set.  Any string that is
	      bound to an out-string (via bindkey -s) will behave
	      as  if  out-string  were	typed directly. Any other
	      character that is not bound to self-insert or self-
	      insert-unmeta  will  beep	 and  be  ignored. If the
	      function is called from vi command mode, the  bind
	      ings of the current insert mode will be used.

       execute-last-named-cmd (ESC-z) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Redo the last function executed with execute-named-
	      cmd.

       get-line (ESC-G ESC-g) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Pop the top line off the buffer stack and insert it
	      at the cursor position.

       pound-insert (unbound) (#) (unbound)
	      If  there is no # character at the beginning of the
	      buffer, add one to the beginning of each line.   If
	      there  is	 one,  remove a # from each line that has
	      one.  In either case, accept the current line.  The
	      INTERACTIVE_COMMENTS option must be set for this to

ZSHZLE(1)						ZSHZLE(1)

	      have any usefulness.

       vi-pound-insert
	      If there is no # character at the beginning of  the
	      current line, add one.  If there is one, remove it.
	      The INTERACTIVE_COMMENTS option  must  be	 set  for
	      this to have any usefulness.

       push-input
	      Push  the	 entire	 current multiline construct onto
	      the buffer stack and return to the top-level  (PS1)
	      prompt.	If the current parser construct is only a
	      single line, this is exactly like push-line.   Next
	      time  the	 editor	 starts up or is popped with get-
	      line, the construct will be popped off the  top  of
	      the  buffer  stack  and  loaded  into  the  editing
	      buffer.

       push-line (^Q ESC-Q ESC-q) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Push the current buffer onto the buffer  stack  and
	      clear  the buffer.  Next time the editor starts up,
	      the buffer will be popped off the top of the buffer
	      stack and loaded into the editing buffer.

       push-line-or-edit
	      At  the top-level (PS1) prompt, equivalent to push-
	      line.  At a secondary (PS2) prompt, move the entire
	      current multiline construct into the editor buffer.
	      The latter is equivalent to push-input followed  by
	      get-line.

       redisplay (unbound) (^R) (^R)
	      Redisplays the edit buffer.

       send-break (^G ESC-^G) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Abort  the  current  editor  function, eg. execute-
	      named-command, or the editor itself, eg. if you are
	      in  vared.  Otherwise abort the parsing of the cur
	      rent line.

       run-help (ESC-H ESC-h) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Push the buffer onto the buffer stack, and  execute
	      the  command  "run-help cmd", where cmd is the cur
	      rent command.  run-help is normally aliased to man.

       vi-set-buffer (unbound) (") (unbound)
	      Specify  a  buffer to be used in the following com
	      mand.  There are 35 buffers that can be  specified:
	      the  26  `named'	buffers	 "a  to	 "z  and the nine
	      `queued' buffers "1 to "9.  The named  buffers  can
	      also  be	specified  as "A to "Z.	 When a buffer is
	      specified for a cut command,  the	 text  being  cut
	      replaces	the  previous  contents	 of the specified
	      buffer.  If a named buffer  is  specified	 using	a

ZSHZLE(1)						ZSHZLE(1)

	      capital,	the  newly  cut	 text  is appended to the
	      buffer instead of overwriting it.	 If no buffer  is
	      specified	 for  a	 cut command, "1 is used, and the
	      contents of "1 to "8 are	each  shifted  along  one
	      buffer; the contents of "9 is lost.

       vi-set-mark (unbound) (m) (unbound)
	      Set the specified mark at the cursor position.

       set-mark-command (^@) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Set the mark at the cursor position.

       spell-word (ESC-$ ESC-S ESC-s) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Attempt spelling correction on the current word.

       undefined-key (lots o' keys) (lots o' keys) (unbound)
	      Beep.

       undo (^_ ^Xu ^X^U) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Incrementally undo the last text modification.

       vi-undo-change (unbound) (u) (unbound)
	      Undo the last text modification.	If repeated, redo
	      the modification.

       where-is
	      Read the name of an editor command  and  and  print
	      the listing of key sequences that invoke the speci
	      fied command.

       which-command (ESC-?) (unbound) (unbound)
	      Push the buffer onto the buffer stack, and  execute
	      the  command  "which-command cmd", where cmd is the
	      current command.	which-command is normally aliased
	      to whence.

       vi-digit-or-beginning-of-line (unbound) (0) (unbound)
	      If the last command executed was a digit as part of
	      an argument,  continue  the  argument.   Otherwise,
	      execute vi-beginning-of-line.
