How to use double quotes in cmd?

[soluty]

As i know, output chords such as S-' can use as double quote " , but how to use it in cmd command??
For example, i want do cmd to some file, such as mycommand -file "file path has space"
how to map (cmd mycommand -file "" ) ? i test many solution such as \ or S-' to replace " or '"file path"', it is useless.

workaround on windows FOR %A IN (*.*) DO @ECHO.%~sA tells you the folder names in 8.3 Format.
I use a batch file to wrap my commands like cmdiso (cmd-output-keys today.cmd)

Would need to compile with the latest main to try this, does this work?

(cmd mycommand -file r#""filepath has space""# )

Thank you, but i cant compile kanata now in my computer, i will try as soon as i can.
Can i ask other question, how to map ctrl+shift+a to a cmd? I cant find any example, now my code is like this

(defsrc lctl)
(deflayer default (tap-hold 200 200 lctl (layer-toggle layctrl)))
(deflayermap (layctrl)
    a  (some action)
   ___  (multi lctl _)
)

this works well if i press ctrl+a, but when i press ctrl+shift+a, it will do same action as ctrl+a, i want to remap ctrl+shift+a, but dont know how to do it.

If it's fine to keep lctl and lsft active, you could just use switch: simulator

You could also have the a action be (multi (release-key lctl) (release-key lsft) ...) if you need the keys released.

For a different approach, this discussion seems useful: discussion link.

(cmd-output-keys cmd /C r#"echo ( t e s t )"# ) works
but
(cmd-output-keys cmd /C "echo ( t e s t )" ) also works

I had this in my config and it stopped outputting anything (not used for a long time because cmd is faster than powershell)
(cmd-output-keys powershell.exe -Command "echo '(' ((Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd').toCharArray() -join ' ') ')'")
r# is now required for it to work
(cmd-output-keys powershell.exe -Command r#"echo '(' ((Get-Date -Format 'yyyy-MM-dd').toCharArray() -join ' ') ')'"#)

But now inner double quotes also work
(cmd-output-keys powershell.exe -NoProfile -NoLogo -NonInteractiv -Command r#"echo "(" ((Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-dd").toCharArray() -join " ") ")""#)
