how to type quotes?

[maxandersen]

How does one get "Type" to type quotes?

I tired various combinations but none seem to work:

Type "jbang -c 'println(\"this is java\");'"

but all either get syntax error or the quote is simply not included.

Any pointers would be great!

I think you could:

Type "jbang -c 'println"
Type '("this is java")'
Type ";'"

although, not escaping the quotes is likely something we need to improve... cc/ @maaslalani

Yep, I think I can add something like:

Type `jbang -c 'println("this is java");'`

for these kinds of scenarios?

sounds good yes!

@maxandersen BTW, you can now (on VHS main) use backticks to Type both single and double quotes in the same string:

Type `"hello" 'world'`
