Cycle through matches in ZSH history-incremental-pattern-search-backward

REPORTTIME for Bash

Binding Fn-Delete in zsh on Mac OS X
In zsh, whenever I press Fn+Delete (which is forward delete) a tilde (~) gets inserted. This indicates zsh doesn't have the key bound.
How do I bind it, and make it behave normally (delete in front of the cursor)?

Zsh Package Suggestion
Hello, I've just migrated to Zsh from Bash, but I have a bit of a problem in it. In bash on an Ubuntu system, when I type the name of a command which does not exist, Bash searches the apt database for a matching command name and prints out the package names that provide that command. It's a reall...

In ZSH when I type history I'm only displayed the last 16 or so commands. I would like history to display all the existing commands in the history file.
When I look in my .zsh_history (my history file) I see all the 500 previous commands that should be th...

How do I customize zsh's vim mode?
Ok, so I finally made the great change. In my .zshenv, I changed my EDITOR:

How can I make zsh completion behave like Bash completion?
I switched to zsh, but I dislike the completion. If I have 20 files, each with a shared prefix, on pressing tab, zsh will fully complete the first file, then continue going through the list with each press of tab. If I want one near the end, I would have to press tab many times.
