My bad, I was thinking of zsh. And I think it’s configurable there too so may not behave that way according to your settings. But it is at least the default on Mac.

Why on earth not just type wine ~/random and then hit tab to autocomplete? Or you could do

wine `echo random*`

AFAIK, if $file is a filename with spaces, then some_util ${file} will not split the filename.

Example of how parameter expansion matters?

Generally if you are pasting file paths there is a better way to do that. Use find with exec, or xargs, or a for loop. Or, get the list in Vim and escape (quote) every line at once. Unless you have double quotes in the filename too (which is actually a crazy thing) it shouldn’t be a big deal.

If your code is written well, it shouldn’t matter.

In practice, they use Face ID, which has privacy implications.
