Subject: 24.3.50; Multi-line shell commands appear as one-liners in the history
Date: Sat, 30 Nov 2013 10:50:39 +0100

Hello,

When typing multi-line commands (on purpose, or because of a missing
component), they end up as standalone lines in the shell command history:

> ls \
> *.html

Recalling the previous command will just show "*.html", not "ls \\n*.html".

Is there a solution to this?

Best regards,
Sebastien Vauban
