16 — Multiline shell commands

Status: open

Can we handle multiline shell commands? For example, commands that span multiple lines with continuations or heredocs. Currently unclear if backtick syntax or ! prefix handles this at all.

Questions

  • What should the syntax look like for multiline commands?
  • Should \ at end-of-line continue a command?
  • How does this interact with prompt2?
