I think !$ will do similar, at least in bash.

(I'm on a phone and normally rely on muscle memory so it might be the wrong symbols).

Maybe I misunderstood, or it does something different in zsh, but it seems like it's inserting the command itself:

    ls foo.txt !$

    ls: ls: No such file or directory
    foo.txt

`!$` is right, though it isn't interactive like `Alt+.` is.

Yes it is, you just need to press Alt-^ to do history expansion on it.

That doesn't cycle through the previous arguments.

Correct.
