why on earth would you make # any kind of a special character in commands. who thought of that
- edolstra 4y agoIn most shells, "#" is not special unless it's preceded by whitespace. So > echo "Hello Nix" | nix run nixpkgs#ponysay also works.
- aendruk 4y ago$ echo a#b a#b
- aidenn0 4y agoAre you complaining because it's not on some latin keyboards, or for some other reason? A lot of other characters are already taken either by shell or by the nix expression language.
