Superfluous backslash

[syimyuzya]

When retrieving a multiline command (with \ at the end of each line except the last) using <C-g>, the actual output becomes a single line but the backslashes are preserved, which causes bash to parse it incorrectly.

To Reproduce

• Install misc/weather.cheat.
• Invode navi with <C-g> and type weather. (In the interactive window the command is shown correctly as curl -s "wttr.in" | grep -v "New feature" | grep -v Follow)
• Press enter. The output is curl -s "wttr.in" \ | grep -v "New feature" \ | grep -v Follow, which would give an error grep: : No such file or directory (the single space after the second backslach treated as a filename).

Expected behavior

The output should be curl -s "wttr.in" | grep -v "New feature" | grep -v Follow, as in the interactive window.

Versions:

• navi: 3.2.0
• OS: macOS Mojave
• Shell Version: Bash 5.0.16

Thanks for opening your first issue here! In case you're facing a bug, please update navi to the latest version first. Maybe the bug is already solved! :)

I'm not able to reproduce the problem 😞

Could you please take a screenshot of the preview window for the weather command?

Thanks! That was insightful. I'll look into it

Just for your information, to switch the Follow line off, you can just add the ?F option:

curl wttr.in/Berlin?F

See curl wttr.in/:help for more options

I am still having this problem in the current latest version 2.23.

> navi --version
navi 2.23.0

> navi --print --query weather
...select in TUI...
curl -s "wttr.in" \     | grep -v "New feature" \     | grep -v Follow

And of course the command fails.

P.S. I am confused why the OP said they were using version 3.2.0. AFAICT this version does not exist?
