According to the upstream author, the correct way to do this is to use quotation marks as follows:
bind c any "run(ls -l)" This does work for me (without my patch). However, this use of quotation marks does not seem to be mentioned in the xpdf man page. Hence I now think this is a documentation bug rather than a functionality bug. ** Summary changed: - run in xpdfrc parsed incorrectly making arguments impossible + run in xpdfrc need quotation marks, but this is not documented -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931976 Title: run in xpdfrc need quotation marks, but this is not documented To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpdf/+bug/931976/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
