 If it creates the keymap, tt(zed) rebinds the return key to insert a line
 break and `tt(^X^W)' to accept the edit in the tt(zed) keymap, and binds
-`tt(ZZ)' to accept the edit in the tt(zed-vicmd) keymap.  If the tt(zed)

+The bindings alone can be installed by running `tt(zed -b)'.  This is
+suitable for putting into a startup file.  Note that, if rerun,
+this will overwrite the existing tt(zed) and tt(zed-vicmd) keymaps.
 
 Completion is available, and styles may be set with the context prefix
 `tt(:completion:zed)'.

+A zle widget tt(zed-set-file-name) is available.  This can be called by
+name from within zed using `tt(\ex zed-set-file-name)' (note, however, that
+because of zed's rebindings you will have to type tt(^j) at the end instead
+of the return key), or can be bound to a key in either of the tt(zed) or
+tt(zed-vicmd) keymaps after `tt(zed -b)' has been run.  When the widget is
+called, it prompts for a new name for the file being edited.  When zed
+exits the file will be written under that name and the original file will
+be left alone.  The widget has no effect with `tt(zed -f)'.
+
+While tt(zed-set-file-name) is running, zed uses the keymap
+tt(zed-normal-keymap), which is linked from the main keymap in effect
+at the time zed initialised its bindings.  (This is to make the return key
+operate normally.)  The result is that if the main keymap has been changed,
+the widget won't notice.  This is not a concern for most users.
