Description

I use this app and Termux a lot and therefore copy paths often. But sometimes it can be tricky because one of the folders in a path could contain a space in it's name and screw the prompt.
For instance:
.../test/My projects is problematic. But if the app automatically formatted it to:
.../test/"My projects" then there would be no issues. Obviously I could just edit the path manually but it quickly becomes tedious when there are a lot of folders to deal with. Needless to say, this being toggleable is ideal.

Research direction

Start at the app's copy-path action and inspect how paths are placed on the clipboard; no file or test is named in the report. Check the terminal-safe formatting requirements in Termux, then verify that a toggle produces usable paths containing spaces while preserving the existing copy behavior when disabled.
