I'm not a maintainer, but this is definitely intended. You can try out what happens if you don't add the backslash and run the cd command.

iaroslavnikitin commented 5 months ago

@Saecki, i do not add the backslash, it's added automatically by autosuggestion / autocompletion to every single folder that has more than 1 word in a title and a space between those words:

Saecki commented 5 months ago

Yes, but the \ is necessary for your shell to understand that the two words are in fact one directory. If you would run cd untitled folder instead of cd untitled\ folder, you would get the following error:

❯ cd untitled folder
cd: string not in pwd: untitled
