Keystroke to copy previous argument

[David Marcus]

Is there a keystroke to copy the previous argument on the same command line? If it is a filename, I generally delete the last character, then do Tab, F12.

Maybe Ctrl+1 etc. is what you want.

Ctrl+1 copies from the previous command. I want to copy from the command that I am creating.

I've wanted something like that myself on occasion. Mostly when renaming a file.

Have you tried my EKeys plugin? You can create a definition:

ekey ctrl-z=# #

and Control-Z will double the word at the cursor.
