Like "variable expansion" and "command substitution" in shell programming,
|
||||
Kakoune expansions can expand to multiple "words" - that is, separate
|
||||
arguments on the resulting command-line. However, unlike shell programming,
|
||||
Kakoune expansions cannot _accidentally_ expand to multiple words, even if
|
||||
the expansion contains whitespace or other special characters: only list types
|
||||
can expand to multiple arguments. While in shell-programming it's good practice
|
||||
to always wrap expansions in double-quotes, in Kakoune it's perfectly safe to
|
||||
leave expansions unquoted.

Kakoune expansions cannot _accidentally_ expand to multiple words because they

semantically contain a list of values (list-type options, registers, selections,

etc.) expand to multiple arguments. While in shell-programming it's good
