The only problem is that it looks ugly. I see why you chose "$" and "^", but wouldn't it look more friendly if you instead used "up" and "down" or "A" and "D" or "forwards" and "backwards", for example? > For the record, just -d'$^' is impossible, because it would break > existing command invocations.
