The first, multiline mode, is the +default. It only works if the tt(TERM) parameter is set to a valid +terminal type that can move the cursor up. The second, single line +mode, is used if tt(TERM) is invalid or incapable of moving the +cursor up, or if the tt(SINGLE_LINE_ZLE) option is set. +pindex(SINGLE_LINE_ZLE, use of) +cindex(ksh, editor mode) +cindex(editor ksh style) +This mode +is similar to bf(ksh), and uses no termcap sequences. If tt(TERM) is +"emacs", the tt(ZLE) option will be unset by default. +sect(Keymaps) +cindex(keymaps) +cindex(key bindings) +cindex(bindings, key) +A keymap in ZLE contains a set of bindings between key sequences +and ZLE commands. The empty key sequence cannot be bound. + +There can be any number of keymaps at any time, and each keymap has one +or more names. If all of a keymap's names are deleted, it disappears. +findex(bindkey, use of) +tt(bindkey) can be used to manipulate keymap names. + +Initially, there are four keymaps: + +startsitem() +sitem(tt(emacs))(EMACS emulation) +sitem(tt(viins))(vi emulation - insert mode) +sitem(tt(vicmd))(vi emulation - command mode) +sitem(tt(.safe))(fallback keymap) +endsitem() + +The `tt(.safe)' keymap is special. It can never be altered, and the name +can never be removed. However, it can be linked to other names, which can +be removed. In the future other special keymaps may be added; users should +avoid using names beginning with `tt(.)' for their own keymaps. + +vindex(VISUAL) +vindex(EDITOR) +In addition to these four names, either `tt(emacs)' or `tt(viins)' is +also linked to the name `tt(main)'. If one of the tt(VISUAL) or +tt(EDITOR) environment variables contain the string `tt(vi)' when the shell +starts up then it will be `tt(viins)', otherwise it will be `tt(emacs)'. +tt(bindkey)'s tt(-e) and tt(-v) +options provide a convenient way to override this default choice. + +When the editor starts up, it will select the `tt(main)' keymap. +If that keymap doesn't exist, it will use `tt(.safe)' instead. + +In the `tt(.safe)' keymap, each single key is bound to tt(self-insert), +except for ^J (line feed) and ^M (return) which are bound to tt(accept-line). +This is deliberately not pleasant to use; if you are using it, it +means you deleted the main keymap, and you should put it back. +subsect(Reading Commands) +When ZLE is reading a command from the terminal, it may read a sequence +that is bound to some command and is also a prefix of a longer bound string. +In this case ZLE will wait a certain time to see if more characters +are typed, and if not (or they don't match any longer string) it will +execute the binding. This timeout is defined by the tt(KEYTIMEOUT) parameter; +its default is 0.4 sec. No timeout is done if the prefix string is not bound. + +As well as ZLE commands, key sequences can be bound to other strings, by using +`tt(bindkey -s)'. +When such a sequence is read, the replacement string is pushed back as input, +and the command reading process starts again using these fake keystrokes. +This input can itself invoke further replacement strings, but in order to +detect loops the process will be stopped if there are twenty such replacements +without a real command being read. +sect(Widgets) +cindex(widgets) +All actions in the editor are performed by `widgets'. A widget's job is +simply to perform some small action. The ZLE commands that key sequences +in keymaps are bound to are in fact widgets. Widgets can be user-defined +or built in. + +There are 162 standard widgets built in to ZLE (see sectref(Standard Widgets)). +Other built-in widgets can be defined by other modules (see +ifzman(zmanref(zshmodules))\ +ifnzman(noderef(Zsh Modules))\ +). Each built-in widget has two names: its normal canonical name, and the +same name preceded by a `tt(.)'. The `tt(.)' name is special: it can't be +rebound to a different widget. This makes the widget available even when +its usual name has been redefined. + +User-defined widgets are defined using `tt(zle -N)', and implemented +as shell functions. When the widget is executed, the corresponding +shell function is executed, and can perform editing (or other) actions. +It is recommended that user-defined widgets should not have names +starting with `tt(.)'. +sect(User-Defined Widgets) +cindex(widgets, user-defined) +User-defined widgets, being implemented as shell functions, +can execute any normal shell command. They can also run other widgets +(whether built-in or user-defined) using the tt(zle) builtin command. +Finally, they can examine and edit the ZLE buffer being edited by +reading and setting the special parameters described below. + +cindex(parameters, editor) +cindex(parameters, zle) +These special parameters are always available in widget functions, but +are not in any way special outside ZLE. If they have some normal value +outside ZLE, that value is temporarily inaccessible, but will return +when the widget function exits. These special parameters in fact have +local scope, like parameters created in a function using tt(local). + +startitem() +vindex(BUFFER) +item(tt(BUFFER) (scalar))( +The entire contents of the edit buffer.
