    I still use underscores for filenames, basically muscle memory at this point

      Spaces in file names will always be fiddly though. It’ll work, but it’ll still be wrong, because arguments are space separated, and having spaced file names totally messes with that.

        I try to just always put files names or paths into quotes in CLI or tie it to a variable in programming. This way it also accepts spaces and knows how to separate it from arguments.

          Yeah. It’s a good idea to guard against it, but I would still never put spaces in filesnames that I myself choose.
