Assuming you want M-C-e, C-xq, Return to be a equivalent to a verbose Return. I don't think it is doable that way, please consider: $ printf "<%s>\n" x\ y <x y> $ printf "<%s>\n" x\ y ## M-C-e $ printf <%s>\n x y ## C-xq (let's assume it quotes the redirections) $ printf "<%s>\n" x y <x> <y> The original words before quote removal should be requoted. Also when expansion introduces quotes: $ x=\" $ printf "$x\n" ## M-C-e-new (shell-expand-quoted?) $ printf "\"\n" $ printf $x\\n ## M-C-e-new $ printf \"\\n Oh well, I am happy with the undo :) -- Regards, Mike Jonkmans
