Swapping, copying, deleting shell words, also undo:

Installation With Zplugin

Add zplugin load psprint/zsh-editing-workbench to .zshrc. The config files will be available in ~/.config/zew.

Installation With Zgen

Add zgen load psprint/zsh-editing-workbench to .zshrc and issue a zgen reset (this assumes that there is a proper zgen save construct in .zshrc). The config files will be available in ~/.config/zew.

Installation With Antigen

Add antigen bundle psprint/zsh-editing-workbench to .zshrc. There also should be antigen apply. The config files will be in ~/.config/znt.

Manual Installation

After extracting ZEW to {some-directory} add following two lines to ~/.zshrc:

fpath+=( {some-directory} )
source "{some-directory}/zsh-editing-workbench.plugin.zsh"

As you can see, no plugin manager is needed to use the *.plugin.zsh file. The above two lines of code are all that almost all plugin managers do. In fact, what's actually needed is only:

source "{some-directory}/zsh-editing-workbench.plugin.zsh"

because ZEW detects if it is used by any plugin manager and can handle $fpath update by itself.
