Is it possible to pass glow into a terminal command?

[guttermonk]

Trying to set a key-bind to open a specific md file in glow:
kitty -e glow ~/Downloads/artichokes.md

When I run glow ~/Downloads/artichokes.md it opens fine. When I run the above command, the terminal tries to open and closes right away with no error message. What am I doing wrong?

Maybe try kitty -e "glow ~/Downloads/artichokes.md"

Thank you for the suggestion. That gives me the following error:

Failed to launch child: glow ~/Downloads/artichokes.md
With error: No such file or directory
Press Enter or Esc to exit

I've confirmed that the file is in fact there, I'm able to open it with an older renderer called mdr, as follows:
kitty -e mdr ~/Downloads/artichokes.md

I believe this is a kitty issue. No problem with glow.

Maybe try $HOME instead of ~? iirc, the tilde is specific to Bash.

I get the same behavior when I use Alacritty instead of Kitty, and when I use $HOME instead of ~. Good guesses though.

tilde works on zsh too
