+;;; zle.el --- Functions to mimmick my ZLE KBDs -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+;; Version: 0.0.1
+;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24"))
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; This is primarily for personal use.  The keybindings that I choose are those
+;; that feel slightly mnemonic while also not shadowing important bindings.
+;; It's quite possible that our tastes will differ here.
+;;
+;; All of these keybindings are intended to shave off milliseconds off your
+;; typing.  I don't expect these numbers to sum up to a meaningful amount.  The
+;; primary reason that I wrote this, is that it introduces a small amount of
+;; structural editing to my workflow.  I've been using these exact keybindings
+;; on the command line, and I find them subtely delightful to use.  So much so
+;; that I decided to bring them to my Emacs configuration.
+;;
+;; ZLE is the Z-shell line editor.  I have some KBDs and functions that I often
+;; want in Emacs.
+;;
+;; Usage:
+;; Consider running `(zle-minor-mode)' to run this globally.  Depending on your
+;; configuration, it could be non-disruptive, disruptive, or extremely
+;; disruptive.
+

+;; variable (C-v)
