Can't create an event where a field starts with "@" #654

Open pawliger opened 1 year ago

I want to create events where the description, location, and/or title start with "@".

"@" seems to be used as shorthand for "include file" so this seems to be impossible.

I tried quoting the "@", like \@ but then the quoting character ends up in the text field.

Hmm, can you share the exact command you're using to repro?

I think you're referring to a command like gcalcli add --description='@foo', which works fine for me, but if you forget the = it does indeed fail with "no such file".
