Yes, but that doesn't mean I need to like it :-P Bram, you said at one point you don't want to start escaping things. Specifically, you wrote: > A command may intentionally use & and | to separate commands. Always > escaping them will break this intentional use. It looks like using parentheses and always escaping everything (including quotes) allows the intentional use to work. What do you think of this? If it is an acceptable solution, how should we accomplish the "always escaping"? Should Vim automatically escape & < > ( ) @ ^ | and " whenever shell is cmd.exe and shellxquote is ( ? Or should we add a new option (set by default)? -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
