How to map Ctrl-c to normal mode in zle

zsh

In zsh with vi bindings, I want to leave insert mode not only using Esc but also using Ctrl-c. I tried this as suggested in another answer.

bindkey -M viins '^C' vi-cmd-mode

Pressing Ctrl-c still just creates a new prompt below the last one. How can I bind to Ctrl-c in insert mode in zle?

You can try to just remap interrupting to any other key (1):

stty intr \^E

You can add your completer to the list of completers used by default:

zstyle ':completion:*' completer _last_command_args _complete

To deactivate the selection, run set-mark-command with a negative argument: ESC - Ctrl+Space.

To copy the region and deactivate the selection, write a function that performs the two actions, then declare it as a widget with zle -N and bind that widget to a key.

copy-region-as-kill-deactivate-mark () {
  zle copy-region-as-kill
  zle set-mark-command -n -1
}
zle -N copy-region-as-kill-deactivate-mark
bindkey '\ew' copy-region-as-kill-deactivate-mark
