Description
I use VSCode on Windows with git bash as the terminal. A problem I have is when I want to cd into a folder: I right click a folder, do Copy Path, focus the terminal and do cd and paste the folder. I end up with this:
$ cd C:\Github\forks\kit\packages\kit\test\apps\basics
bash: cd: C:Githubforkskitpackageskittestappsbasics: No such file or directory
The shell eats the \ because they are not escaped and the path isn't quoted.
This feature request is for a setting to optionally wrap the path with single or double quotes:
Explorer: Wrap absolute Copy Path file path with quotes
"No quotes (default)"
"Single"
"Double"
Right now Copy Path gives C:\Github\forks\kit\packages\kit\test\apps\basics which would still be the default.
Single would give 'C:\Github\forks\kit\packages\kit\test\apps\basics'
Double would give "C:\Github\forks\kit\packages\kit\test\apps\basics"
This feature would make it smoother to interact with absolute paths from the Copy Path command on Windows machines/shells.
