Not sure about zsh's Ctrl-C, but in bash I press Esc-# and a # is
prepended to the current line and entered into the history. This is
what I use when I want to review some manpage or something.
Nice, didn't know about that.
It also "works" in psql, but unsurprisingly it also prepends #. We
could fix it by having it prepend -- instead, or maybe enclose the
current editing buffer in /* */.
(This only works in a single line fashion in bash, but I don't see why
we couldn't make it work multiline in psql.)
The main big difference between zsh and bash is that zsh allows real
in-place multiline editing. You can use your arrow keys to navigate through
the "buffer".
I don't know how the new psql mode works. Does it do multi-line editing even
including returns? I probably should try it out myself...
