I added <code>insert-last-word</code> and had to modify the bound characters to some extent. Still need to figure out how to best handle dead keys (<code>option-t</code> and <code>option-u</code> for example)...<br> </p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>bindkey '' accept-and-hold # option-a bindkey 'ƒ' forward-word # option-b bindkey 'ç' fzf-cd-widget # option-c bindkey 'ð' delete-word # option-d bindkey '›' backward-word # option-f bindkey '¸' get-line # option-g bindkey '˛' run-help # option-h bindkey 'fi' down-case-word # option-l bindkey '‘' history-search-forward # option-n bindkey 'π' history-search-backward # option-p bindkey '•' push-line # option-q bindkey 'ß' spell-word # option-s bindkey '†' transpose-words # option-t bindkey 'ˀ' up-case-word # option-u bindkey 'Ω' copy-region-as-kill # option-w bindkey '≈' execute-named-cmd # option-x bindkey 'µ' yank-pop # option-y bindkey '…' insert-last-word # option-. </code></pre> </div> <p>Would be nice if VSCode supported choosing just the left option key as meta, same as iTerm does.</p> vscode terminal zsh
