I don't know if this is the same thing or not, but one problem I have
noticed is that I can't add filesystem addresses with spaces in them,
for example:

Imagine you want to search in a file called 'computer notes' with grep
on the command line you would escape the space with a backslash like so:

grep grub ~/computer\ notes

If you add this address to the User Input box to replace a ? it will
enter this at the command line:

grep grub ~/computer\

Which of course won't work.

I have tried it without the escape character and also encased in quote
marks (both with and without the  escape character) and I still can't
get it to work.

Title:
  no backslash as first letter of an entry

Status in CLI Companion:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  As far as I see, inputs into the variable-?-template should not start with a backslash, which might be possible e.g. when it is asked for a path. 
  This is because in python and in  '\n' the escape function of the backslash affects even a backslash itself and deletes it.

  If I am right - and i am not quite sure of it - this should be at
  least be in the documentation.
