-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I asked the zsh users list about making zsh beep when backspacing on an empty line, and received a suggestion that works great for me. It takes a widget to do that, and a widget can be defined by the following several lines: - ----- backward-delete-char-beep() { if (( CURSOR == 0 )) ; then zle beep ; fi ; zle backward-delete-char } zle -N backward-delete-char-beep bindkey "^?" backward-delete-char-beep - ----- I put these lines in /etc/zsh/zprofile, and they apply to all users. zsh now beeps just like bash when backspacing on an empty command line.
