This caused issues if the pager/editor command had options like
less -FRSX
, they would then get quoted as a single word rather thanless
then-FRSX
.shlex.quote
doesn't seem to do the right thing on Windows cmd. Usingshlex.split
on the command first wouldn't help, as it would need to get re-joined andsubprocess.list2cmdline

Closes #1514
