Good point. I'd like to have the code look a little clearer
though. Lengthy "... && ... && ..." chains are fine as one shot command
lines, but are not useful in real code. Thus:

sudo-command-line() {
    [[ -z $BUFFER ]] && zle up-history
    if [[ $BUFFER != sudo\ * ]]; then
        BUFFER="sudo $BUFFER"
        CURSOR=$(( CURSOR+5 ))
    fi
}

Objections?

Regards, Frank

after using sudo-command-line, the CL-length will have increased by 5 chars. As
the cursor position stays the same, this amounts to a cursor offset with respect
to my typed test of 5 chars to the left.

please increase CURSOR position by 5 chars (==strlen "sudo "), so cursorposition
remains the same, relative to typed test

proposal:

sudo-command-line() {
    [[ -z $BUFFER ]] && zle up-history
    [[ $BUFFER != sudo\ * ]] && BUFFER="sudo $BUFFER" && CURSOR=$((CURSOR+5))
}
