zsh/Functions/Zle/smart-insert-last-word

# smart-insert-last-word
# Inspired by Christoph Lange <langec@gmx.de> from zsh-users/3265;
# rewritten to correct multiple-call behavior after zsh-users/3270;
# modified to work with copy-earlier-word after zsh-users/5832.
# Edited further per zsh-users/10881 and zsh-users/10884.
#
# This function as a ZLE widget can replace insert-last-word, like so:
#
#   zle -N insert-last-word smart-insert-last-word
#
# With a numeric prefix, behaves like insert-last-word, except that words
# in comments are ignored when interactive_comments is set.
#
# Otherwise, the rightmost "interesting" word from any previous command is
# found and inserted.  The default definition of "interesting" is that the
# word contains at least one alphabetic character, slash, or backslash.
# This definition can be overridden by use of a style like so:
#
#   zstyle :insert-last-word match '*[[:alpha:]/\\]*'
#
# For example, you might want to include words that contain spaces:
#
#   zstyle :insert-last-word match '*[[:alpha:][:space:]/\\]*'
#
# Or include numbers as long as the word is at least two characters long:
#
#   zstyle :insert-last-word match '*([[:digit:]]?|[[:alpha:]/\\])*'
#
# That causes redirections like "2>" to be included.
#
# Note also that the style is looked up based on the widget name, so you
# can bind this function to different widgets to use different patterns:
#
#   zle -N insert-last-assignment smart-insert-last-word
#   zstyle :insert-last-assignment match '[[:alpha:]][][[:alnum:]]#=*'
#   bindkey '\e=' insert-last-assignment
#
# The "auto-previous" style, if set to a true value, causes the search to
# proceed upward through the history until an interesting word is found.
# If auto-previous is unset or false and there is no interesting word, the
# last word is returned.
