Having to use the wrong slash everywhere

[-] ccp@lemy.lol 2 points 2 weeks ago

Have you ever tried just using forward slashes anyway? It works more or less some of the time.

Yes, except where it doesn’t, which you have to remember, which makes it just another annoyance.

My solution is to run everything through msys2 😅

I'd actually like it if it was backslash for local paths and forward slash for remote paths. But if you connect to a cifs share, it still uses backslashes, so the whole thing seems pointless
