In the meantime (it's been more than seven years), I've changed my mind about this. I think a vendor should do as little as possible in their global configuration files. We already do a fair bit with regard to key- board setup.¹ But compsys is much more expensive in comparison, and al- most all zsh user will call this in their zshrc file anyway. And all of those people, we'll force to create a .zshenv file just to to revert a change in a vendor file. In short, I am firmly against doing this. Regards, Frank ¹ A case could be made that this is overstepping the boundaries already. And maybe that's true. Getting keyboard handling in a terminal right is a hard task, however. It requires intimate knowledge about some of the subtleties of how terminals work and about the facilities zsh of- fers to work with those. It would be much better, if zsh did some of this out of the box, but alas it doesn't. (The rationale is to not break existing setups — and that's a valid argument, too.)
