Let me ask - why did you feel the need to use quotes for the 'touch', but not for the 'ls' ? Just to be able to demonstrate that whitespace is the default field separator on the Linux command line?
Because the point is that 'mc' automatically generates the escapes.
You can not simply click and paste a filename in the CLI obtained from an "ls" listing, you have to manually do something so that whatever command works.
Not if you know how to use 'ls'. man ls. If you use "-Q" with ls, filenames are listed in quotes, copy&paste works very well. Anyway, very entertaining discussion - especially that it seems to divide people into "love it" or "never heard of it". -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.9°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
