+# With this in place, you should rarely need "zle -N self-insert frob"
+# again.  Instead you do this:
+#
+# 	bindkey -N frobber main
+# 	zle -N frobber+self-insert frob
+#
+# Then, whenever you wish to replace self-insert with frob, change
+# keymaps:
+#
+# 	zle recursive-edit -K frobber
+
+# Here's a simple example, which improves upon the caps-lock example in
+# the zsh manual entry for recursive-edit:
+#
+#   ucase+self-insert() {
+#     LBUFFER+=${(U)KEYS[-1]}
+#   }
+#   zle -N ucase+self-insert
+#   caps-lock() {
+#     bindkey -N ucase $KEYMAP
+#     bindkey -M ucase "$KEYS" .accept-line
+#     zle recursive-edit -K ucase || zle send-break
+#   }
+#   zle -N caps-lock
+#
+# To turn this on, pick a key sequence (I've chosen ctrl-x shift-L) and
+# bind the caps-lock widget to it:
+#
+#   bindkey -M main '^XL' caps-lock
