it's a hyphen you retard. and yes, you should use it over underscore since it's easier to type.

Did you even read his arguments? They're retarded and he's a moron for not knowing even how to use regex. Just use hyphens. Underscores are for retards.

>>62071845
ok daddy :)

>>62071653
hyphen where hyphens are normally used
underscore where you'd use space
it's that simple

should be:

correct?

>>62072033
yes

what other purpose do you see the underscore having? Nobody ever uses it for anything, its only use is to replace space.

using underscores for spaces and not changing the meaning of the hyphen > changing the meaning of hyphens and leaving a useless anyway symbol unused

That was an unexpected plot twist, I liked that.

>>62071653
folders with underscores (preferably just a single word) files with whitespace.

>>62072408
I know how to get around it, thanks you.
It's just annoying.

>>62072497
I think it's annoying to press shift + - (_) instead space multiple times when renaming. It's ugly as well.

But yeah sometimes it's needed.

>>62072353
tab completion

>>62072540
Yes....didn't we already establish that hyphen is better than underscores for that reason and others?
