A kind of crude workaround is using the whole /Users/whatever/file with spaces, selecting it with first button and 1-2 chording it to Get. This works on Mac, problem is that it's quite horrible to do. An intermediate solution may be to use some piping rule like sp:filename with spaces, but I don't remember if piping works with right-button and selected text or follows the same rules as opening a file.

Someone once made a little filesystem that would substitute spaces in filenames with a different character. When placed between the normal fs and Acme, this would make things work quite nicely.

If I remember correctly, Acme-SAC (built on top of Inferno) does that by default.

No idea where you can find such a fs for Mac though. But this might give you a start.

Greetings,

Just started using acme (and sam). Cool.

I am using acme on a Mac form plan9port.

Within a file list one can right-click a listing in order to decend into another directory or load a file. The problem is that neither work if a space is contained within the name. Apparently, the right-click functionality only looks at non-white space strings. An easy fix to this would be to allow the user to highlight the entire string (including spaces) and then right-click as normal. The system would allow the highlight facility to override the "just test for contigous non-space string" current functionality.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.
