Using bindings results in "No such shell function `.edit.subword'" error

[Jackenmen]

Describe the bug

When trying to use any binding provided by zsh-edit, I run into this error message:

No such shell function `.edit.subword'

Additionally, it seems that when trying to use zsh-edit on a fresh machine, I'm also seeing (or similar depending on which binding is used):

No such widget `.backward-shell-word'

Steps To Reproduce

I reproduced this on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 VM with git and zsh packages installed.

1. Put this in .zshrc

# Created by newuser for 5.8
source ~/zsh-snap/znap.zsh

znap source marlonrichert/zsh-edit

2. Open zsh.
3. Use Alt+Left/Right shortcut.
4. See the issue

Expected behavior

I expected the bindings to move by a shell/subword as it did before.

Observed behavior

Using the key binding resulted in an error:

No such shell function `.edit.subword'

Environment:

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04
• Terminal: Gnome Terminal and kitty
• Zsh version: 5.8 and 5.8.1
• Repo version: * main 98ae841 Update GitHub tests to `ubuntu-latest`

setopt EXTENDED_GLOB

before sourcing the plugin may help, but the shell-forward/backword are not working as discribed in README....

[otakutyrant]

I have just installed this plugin but encountered this issue then.

@otakutyrant As a workaround I suggest to figure out how to pin to a git commit in your plugin manager and using the last working commit which is fcddcbc5ac24643167d47bb34994e4e62a1dbe9e. That's what I'm doing anyway.

[QuarticCat]

For anyone who only needs the subword widget, I wrote a simplified version and fixed a bug by the way.

https://github.com/QuarticCat/dotfiles/blob/76745aee9b2df1cd0d41fc1ece8caf4c2ceb4c85/zsh/.zshrc#L253-L290

It requires setopt extended_glob.

@Jackenmen This workaround works! Thank you.

[marlonrichert]

Sorry about that. It's fixed now.
