I didn't immediately appreciate your alternative solution

########### alt. and alt=
bindkey '\e.' insert-last-word
autoload -Uz copy-earlier-word
zle -N copy-earlier-word
bindkey '\e=' copy-earlier-word

Still think it's a pity that there's no !$-1 , !$-2 etc

BTW if you tab complete
echo !$-1 
I get !3569NVXZhikms1
