I'm not sure what you call "unit", but IMHO, the notion of unit should be different from the notion of argument. For instance, I would agree that a URL could be regarded as a unit, and after echo "The URL is: it makes sense to paste a URL.

Or perhaps there should be a function that does all the work for URL handling, e.g. currently autoload -Uz url-quote-magic zle -N self-insert url-quote-magic autoload -Uz bracketed-paste-magic zle -N bracketed-paste bracketed-paste-magic zstyle :bracketed-paste-magic paste-init backward-extend-paste in case there would be future changes. -- Vincent Lefèvre - Web: 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
