How about: <Control-r>ls /h
That works, and explains what exactly that function is supposed to do (I
have inadvertently gotten into that mode at various points in the past,
but was never able to figure out what it was for).
I'm still not comfortable with it, and would greatly prefer to be able
to use ! expansion as was once possible, but I suspect that that is
simply a matter of what I am personally accustomed to; I can see nothing
on which to base a plausibly objective argument that this is less
convenient than the form I would prefer.
So: I'm not precisely satisfied, but this should suffice if necessary.
Thank you.
