Lot's of nice changes in 4.19. I'm really impressed at how fast Carsten
& Co. are cranking out new code and new fixes.
Looks like there are a few problems with shell links in 4.19c, though.
1.) If I type C-c C-l, and then at the link: prompt, type
shell:SPACE
where SPACE means I hit the spacebar, then I get a [No Match] error
message. If I instead type:
shell:lsSPACE
then I get the [No Match] error after the 'ls'
2.) If I manually make a shell link like this
[[shell:ls *.org][shellcmd]]
and then type C-c C-o. The minibuffer asks m:
Execute " " in the shel? (yes or no)
Even though there's a blank, the ls command works if I say yes
3.) If I put the cursor in the link and type C-c C-l, then
the minibuffer says:
Link: shell:ls%20*.org
If I cancel (C-g), C-c C-o still works.

Fixing goes fast if people are out there testing things. Thanks for
your report.

This is because SPACE does completion in the minibuffer. Hmm. Ok, I
can turn this default off and make SPACE insert itself. This means
that only TAB will do completion in the minibuffer at the C-c C-l
prompt. Not a problem, I guess.

The command is there, it is only invisible because it is a copy of the
invisible command in the [[ ]] link :-). I am removing this
invisibility property now.

In the hidden part of a link, space and brackets are escaped. I forgot
to unescape for the editing prompt.
While I was at it, I have also removed the restrictions on shell
commands. Shell: links in [[ ]] brackets can now contain "<", ">", and
"|". These restrictions were only needed in <> links, but now no
longer. This is nice.
Also, maybe you'd like to know that there is a variable to turn off the
safety query in shell links: org-confirm-shell-links. I could also
change the yes-or-no query to a y-or-n query to make it easier to
answer.... We'll see, not now.

In 4.20, the minibuffer is now showing the space without the '%20', a
nice touch. However, the %20 still does show up in the link text when I
delete the leftmost ']'. It's just a display issue, though, because the
shell link works fine.

I tried it out the customization and much prefer the y/n confirmation.
Thanks.

Some characters need to be escaped in a link. For example, I have seen
message ID's containing [ ] brackets, and these would mess up the
regexp matching of links. A space character might lead to link being
scattered over two lines, with a newline and possibly indentation in
between. To avoid this, I am escaping both space and brackets. The
links still work because before following a link, the escaping is
reversed
