I vaguely remember zsh in Manjaro (by default) having a tab completion that automatically added the slashes.
Never set it up myself though.
But I really hate having to worry about quoting my file variables in scripts.
So much, that after a certain complexity, I just give up the script and make the thing in C++.
Oh, and if I make a script that doesn’t handle file names properly (because it’s not required in that specific use case), I make sure to delete it after use, to prevent mistaken use later, which would otherwise cause more headache than just having to rewrite a script.
You can just start the path with a quote and it will auto complete with spaces. I spend a lot of time correcting files with spaces replaced now. The spaces are better. I think music is the most annoying, since I like to use tools like EasyTag to extract metadata from filenames.
You are clearly not a command line user :)

So please stop.naming_files.like_this.its_stupid
Oh, you’re right. I just tried it out and it worked the same way.
I wonder what gave me the misconception the it doesn’t by default.
