Filenames with special characters e.g. ! are not handled correctly about cmder

[Vivix]

You can escape it with ^!^!, this problem seems to stem from clink, but I couldn't find any configuration options for it to halt history expansion. There's some options to explore, configuration files for clink, or cmder, but until then ^ escape is your friend.

@Vivix thanks a lot. Not sure if Cmder can implemente it, but It would have been nicer to have \ as the escape character as in all other shells.

No problem. If you want something closer to Linux you can try cygwin and such with bash or other shells (can't remember if sh or zsh is available.). Implementing \ would not be a good idea in a cmd consistent environment.

This works now so long as the filename with special chars is in quotes or the special chars escaped

mv "blah!!.txt" blah.txt
mv 'blah!!.txt' blah.txt
mv blah^!^!.txt blah.txt
