zsh laziness features (cont.)

phearsome commandline editing capabilities (cont.)
eg: emacs' dynamic abbreviation
... which can be activated automatically if <tab> can't complete
neat-o history support
supports all your standard ! csh history stuff, eg: !!, !gcc
esc p (previous) finds last line in history with current contents
stupidly simple but useful stuff like magic-space
esc q pushes current command onto buffer stack
esc a executes command and retains it in the buffer
esc ? runs which-command on whatever you've typed
esc h gets help on the current command
esc ' quotes everything properly
only learnt about this today
if you stuff it up, just undo with ^_ or ^X^u
all keys can be rebound if you like
