I have somewhat a reversed issue. I use:

zstyle ':completion:*:*:*:default' menu yes select search

so I can search through the completions. When I accept an entry,
either with a double-enter or a space:

bindkey -M menuselect ' ' .accept-line

I then have a space added after the accepted entry. And it doesn't get
removed when I continue typing, like in the author's post. I would
like to have it removed. Note, that it's not possible to bind custom
widgets to the menuselect key map.
