I think we should just replicate the behavior of a command line: you must manually escape characters, and I must take that into account when splitting the string.
Agreed (about replicating behavior of command line), but this means you *don't* need to manually escape spaces. Try:
cd /tmp date > hello\ world cat hel[HIT TAB THEN ENTER HERE]
I meant that you have to manually escape when you write: date > hello\ world When a completion is returned XPrompt should take care of escaping spaces and quotes.
Note: I haven't looked carefully at the ShellPrompt module, but I wonder if it could call bash to do the completions, like DirectoryPrompt does (which does properly handle directories with spaces in them).
Yes, now ShellPrompt uses both compgen -A command and -A file but does not handles multiple spaces in a path. I'll take care of the problem. Andrea
