You *don't* want the "." in the zle -N.  The whole point of the
dot-commands is that they can't be replaced by user widgets.  That's
the same reason you *do* want it in the function.

  ordinary-key-press(){
  	if [[ $KEYS = [[:print:]] ]]; then
  		region_highlight=("0 0 underline")
  	fi
  	zle .self-insert
  }

  zle -N self-insert ordinary-key-press

There's nothing special about space so long as it's bound to
self-insert; I had no trouble using it.

By the way, if you ever need to undo this, the incantation is

  zle -A .self-insert self-insert

---don't simply delete self-insert or you will have trouble typing.
