Don't try svelte kit. This is pseudocode but it's valid. The only symbol show here that is not real is the / that I've placed at the end of folder to show that they are folders. There are other special cases

sveltekit is beautiful (thanks for spreading the word)
Im trying it out yet. It seems fun, the tutorial is amazing. I don't think I'd want to do large enterprise projects with it
smells like skill issue tbh
tools which cant handle being installed/run on directories with spaces are so annoying
tools which cant handle being installed/run on directories with spaces are unacceptably common
Now I'm imagining a shell that looks iteratively through arguments to find where quotes would make total sense
$ ls
my victims.ods
$ wipe -f my victims.ods --thorough
So the shell would go like
wipe → command name found, ok-f → no file in the current directory starts with that, skipmy → matches a file, keep in memory...my victims.ods → full match, but missing quotes!Filename "my victims.ods" found without quotes. Choose:
[a]dd quotes this time
[A]lways add quotes (dangerous)
[n]o quotes today please
[N]ever offer adding quotes again
[t]ell me what could possibly go wrong when I choose to always add quotes
[P]unch the person who proposed this feature
For interactive use, tab-completion essentially makes this a non-issue, because shells add escaping in the appropriate places.
For scripting, where spaces are harder to deal with, unfortunately there's just not much you can do; your two options are basically to learn all of your particular shell's patterns for dealing with whitespace in filenames, or only write scripts in something other than a POSIX shell.
“_” to the rescue
I still use spaces
agreed, "still worth it"
I do, however, tend to keep spaces out of my folder names so i can just use quotes at the end.
/Images/Halloween/Projections/"Creepy Crawlies.mp4"
That's what backslash-tab is for
Computers should just know when I want a space to be part of a file name, and when I want them to be argument separators. No more escaping or quoting.
