IFS is a special shell variable in bash, ksh and POSIX shells that lets you configure how the shell splits words
by default it splits at spaces tabs and newlines
I use fish a shell that is intentionally not POSIX compatible. While it borrows some principles from Bash and POSIX, it simplifies a lot of things and removes most footguns. Words are split at new lines in fish, which admittedly can also cause troubles, but not nearly as often as in bash and other POSIXy shells.
for i in path/to/dir/*
dosomething_with_my_file $i
end
where is the problem? fish shell doesn’t split arguments at spaces
the standard keyboard layouts (qwerty, qwertz, etc.) are mostly trash
are there any good alternative keyboard layouts for your native language (finnish if im not mistaken)?
In Germany there is the Neo Family: Neo{,2}, NeoQwert{y,z}, Bone, Mine, … as well as offsprings of that, but I guess you need your diacritics: å ä and ö. While Neo layouts have these diacritics available, they are made for german, so only ä ö and ü are easily accessible.
not really
You can easily escape spaces with \ and my modern shell (fish) suggests and completes filenames for me anyway, so i don’t have to type more than the first word in more than 90% of cases.
How about “cool file name”?
All my systems use modern file systems that are case sensitive and can contain any character except / and \0.
the manpage has me covered tbh
