 The tt(zsh/zle) module contains the Zsh Line Editor.  See
 ifzman(zmanref(zshzle))\
 ifnzman(noderef(Zsh Line Editor))\
-.  It also contains three related builtin commands:
-
-startitem()
-findex(bindkey)
-cindex(keys, rebinding)
-cindex(rebinding keys)
-cindex(keys, binding)
-cindex(binding keys)

-xitem(tt(bindkey) [ var(options) ] var(in-string command) ...)
-item(tt(bindkey) [ var(options) ] [ var(in-string) ])(
-tt(bindkey)'s options can be divided into three categories: keymap selection,
-operation selection, and others.  The keymap selection options are:
-
-startitem()
-item(tt(-e))(
-Selects keymap `tt(emacs)', and also links it to `tt(main)'.
-)
-item(tt(-v))(
-Selects keymap `tt(viins)', and also links it to `tt(main)'.
-)
-item(tt(-a))(
-Selects keymap `tt(vicmd)'.
-)
-item(tt(-M))(
-The first non-option argument is used as a keymap name,
-and does not otherwise count as an argument.
-)
-enditem()
-
-If a keymap selection is required and none of the options above are used, the
-`tt(main)' keymap is used.  Some operations do not permit a keymap to be
-selected, namely:
-
-startitem()
-item(tt(-l))(
-List all existing keymap names.  If the tt(-L)
-option is also used, list in the form of tt(bindkey)
-commands to create the keymaps.
-)
-item(tt(-d))(
-Delete all existing keymaps and reset to the default state.
-)
-item(tt(-D) var(keymap) ...)(
-Delete the named var(keymap)s.
-)
-item(tt(-A) var(old-keymap new-keymap))(
-Make the var(new-keymap) name an alias for var(old-keymap), so that
-both names refer to the same keymap.  The names have equal standing;
-if either is deleted, the other remains.  If there is already a keymap
-with the var(new-keymap) name, it is deleted.
-)
-item(tt(-N) var(new-keymap) [ var(old-keymap) ])(
-Create a new keymap, named var(new-keymap).  If a keymap already has that
-name, it is deleted.  If an var(old-keymap) name is given, the new keymap
-is initialized to be a duplicate of it, otherwise the new keymap will
-be empty.
-)
-enditem()
-
-To use a newly created keymap, it should be linked to tt(main).  Hence
-the sequence of commands to create and use a new keymap `tt(mymap)'
-initialized from the tt(emacs) keymap (which remains unchanged) is:
-
-example(bindkey -N mymap emacs
-bindkey -A mymap main)
-
-Note that while `tt(bindkey -A) var(newmap) tt(main)' will work when
-var(newmap) is tt(emacs) or tt(viins), it will not work for tt(vicmd), as
-switching from vi insert to command mode becomes impossible.
-
-The following operations act on the `tt(main)' keymap if no keymap
-selection option was given:
-
-startitem()
-item(tt(-m))(
-Add the built-in set of meta-key bindings to the selected keymap.
-Only keys that are unbound or bound to tt(self-insert) are affected.
-)
-item(tt(-r) var(in-string) ...)(
-Unbind the specified var(in-string)s in the selected keymap.
-This is exactly equivalent to binding the strings to tt(undefined-key).
-When tt(-R) is also used, interpret the var(in-string)s as ranges.
-)
-item(tt(-s) var(in-string out-string) ...)(
-Bind each var(in-string) to each var(out-string).
-When var(in-string) is typed, var(out-string) will be
-pushed back and treated as input to the line editor.
-When tt(-R) is also used, interpret the var(in-string)s as ranges.
-)
-item(var(in-string command) ...)(
-Bind each var(in-string) to each var(command).
-When tt(-R) is used, interpret the var(in-string)s as ranges.
-)
-item([ var(in-string) ])(
-List key bindings.  If an var(in-string) is specified, the binding of
-that string in the selected keymap is displayed.  Otherwise, all key
-bindings in the selected keymap are displayed.  (As a special case,
-if the tt(-e) or tt(-v) option is used alone, the keymap is em(not)
-displayed - the implicit linking of keymaps is the only thing that
-happens.)
-
-When the tt(-L) option is used, the list is in the form of tt(bindkey)
-commands to create the key bindings.
-)
-enditem()
-
-When the tt(-R) option is used as noted above, a valid range consists of
-two characters, with an optional `tt(-)' between them.  All characters
-between the two specified, inclusive, are bound as specified.
-
-For either var(in-string) or var(out-string), the following
-escape sequences are recognised:
-
-startsitem()
-sitem(tt(\a))(bell character)
-sitem(tt(\b))(backspace)
-sitem(tt(\e), tt(\E))(escape)
-sitem(tt(\f))(form feed)
-sitem(tt(\n))(linefeed (newline))
-sitem(tt(\r))(carriage return)
-sitem(tt(\t))(horizontal tab)
-sitem(tt(\v))(vertical tab)
-sitem(tt(\)var(NNN))(character code in octal)
-sitem(tt(\x)var(NN))(character code in hexadecimal)
-sitem(tt(\M)[tt(-)]var(X))(character with meta bit set)
-sitem(tt(\C)[tt(-)]var(X))(control character)
-sitem(tt(^)var(X))(control character)
-endsitem()
-
-In all other cases, `tt(\)' escapes the following character.  Delete is
-written as `tt(^?)'.  Note that `tt(\M^?)' and `tt(^\M?)' are not the same,
-and that (unlike emacs), the bindings `tt(\M-)var(X)' and `tt(\e)var(X)'
-are entirely distinct, although they are initialized to the same bindings
-by `tt(bindkey -m)'.

-item(tt(vared) [ tt(-Aache) ] [ tt(-p) var(prompt) ] [ tt(-r) var(rprompt) ] var(name))(
-The value of the parameter var(name) is loaded into the edit
-buffer, and the line editor is invoked.  When the editor exits,
-var(name) is set to the string value returned by the editor.
-When the tt(-c) flag is given, the parameter is created if it doesn't
-already exist.  The tt(-a) flag may be given with tt(-c) to create
-an array parameter, or the tt(-A) flag to create an associative array.
-If the type of an existing parameter does not match the type to be
-created, the parameter is unset and recreated.
-
-If an array or array slice is being edited, separator characters as defined
-in tt($IFS) will be shown quoted with a backslash, as will backslashes
-themselves.  Conversely, when the edited text is split into an array, a
-backslash quotes an immediately following separator character or backslash;
-no other special handling of backslashes, or any handling of quotes, is
-performed.
-
-Individual elements of existing array or associative array parameters
-may be edited by using subscript syntax on var(name).  New elements are
-created automatically, even without tt(-c).
-
-If the tt(-p) flag is given, the following string will be taken as
-the prompt to display at the left.  If the tt(-r) flag is given,
-the following string gives the prompt to display at the right.  If the
-tt(-h) flag is specified, the history can be accessed from ZLE. If the 
-tt(-e) flag is given, typing tt(^D) (Control-D) on an empty line
-causes tt(vared) to exit immediately with a non-zero return value.

-Create a user-defined completion widget named var(widget). The 
-completion widget will behave like the built-in completion-widget
-whose name is given as var(completion-widget). To generate the
-completions, the shell function var(function) will be called.

-item(tt(-R) [ tt(-c) ] [ var(display-string) ] [ var(string) ... ])(
-Redisplay the command line; this is to be called from within a user-defined
-widget to allow changes to become visible.  If a var(display-string) is
-given and not empty, this is shown in the status line (immediately
-below the line being edited).
-
-If the optional var(string)s are given they are listed below the
-prompt in the same way as completion lists are printed. If no
-var(string)s are given but the tt(-c) option is used such a list is
-cleared.
-
-Note that this option is only useful for widgets that do not exit
-immediately after using it because the strings displayed will be erased 
-immediately after return from the widget.
-
-This command can safely be called outside user defined widgets; if zle is
-active, the display will be refreshed, while if zle is not active, the
-command has no effect.  In this case there will usually be no other
-arguments.  The status is zero if zle was active, else one.
-)
-item(tt(-M) var(string))(
-As with the tt(-R) option, the var(string) will be displayed below the 
-command line; unlike the tt(-R) option, the string will not be put into
-the status line but will instead be printed normally below the
-prompt.  This means that the var(string) will still be displayed after
-the widget returns (until it is overwritten by subsequent commands).
-)
-item(tt(-U) var(string))(
-This pushes the characters in the var(string) onto the input stack of
-ZLE.  After the widget currently executed finishes ZLE will behave as
-if the characters in the var(string) were typed by the user.
-
-As ZLE uses a stack, if this option is used repeatedly
-the last string pushed onto the stack will be processed first.  However,
-the characters in each var(string) will be processed in the order in which
-they appear in the string.
-)
-item(tt(-I))(
-Unusually, this option is only useful em(outside) ordinary widget functions.
-It invalidates the current zle display in preparation for output; usually
-this will be from a trap function.  It has no effect if zle is not
-active.  When a trap exits, the shell checks to see if the display needs
-restoring, hence the following will print output in such a way as not to
-disturb the line being edited:
-
-example(TRAPUSR1() {
-    # Invalidate zle display
-  zle -I
-    # Show output
-  print Hello
-})
-
-Note that there are better ways of manipulating the display from within zle
-widgets.  In general, the trap function may need to test whether zle is
-loaded before using this method; if it is not, there is no point in loading
-it specially since the line editor will not be active.
-
-The status is zero if zle was active, else one.
-)
-item(var(widget) tt([ -n) var(num) tt(]) tt([ -N ]) var(args) ...)(
-Invoke the specified widget.  This can only be done when ZLE is
-active; normally this will be within a user-defined widget.
-
-With the options tt(-n) and tt(-N), the current numerical argument will be
-saved and then restored after the call to tt(widget); `tt(-n) var(num)'
-sets the numerical argument temporarily to var(num), while `tt(-N)' sets it
-to the default, i.e. as if there were none.
-
-Any further arguments will be passed to the widget.  If it is a shell
-function, these are passed down as positional parameters; for builtin
-widgets it is up to the widget in question what it does with them.
-Currently arguments are only handled by the incremental-search commands,
-the tt(history-search-forward) and tt(-backward) and the corresponding
-functions prefixed by tt(vi-), and by tt(universal-argument).  No error is
-flagged if the command does not use the arguments, or only uses some of
-them.
-
-The return status reflects the success or failure of the operation carried
-out by the widget, or if it is a user-defined widget the return status of
-the shell function.  
-
-A non-zero return status causes the shell to beep when the widget exits,
-unless the tt(BEEP) options was unset or the widget was called via the
-tt(zle) command.  Thus if a user defined widget requires an immediate beep,
-it should call the tt(beep) widget directly.
-)
-enditem()

-With no options and no arguments, only the return status will be
-set. It is zero if ZLE is currently active and widgets could be
-invoked using this builtin command and non-zero if ZLE is not active.
