Environments should quote .env values

I just started experimenting with Environments to mange my .env files.  I use https://direnv.net/ to load my .env files into my shell and it immediately started complaining.  As it turns out, my previous plain text .env had quoted values in some cases, for instance a secret that contains a "&" and another one with ")".

It would be nice if Environments either quoted values by default or offered the option to do so.  Would also be nice if my #comments were preserved on import.

    You might like varlock (free and open source). There is a 1Password plugin to pull data from individual items and environments, and you can add whatever comments you like, as well as use it with direnv without any issues.

    Hey Erikcw! My apologies for the delayed response here. That sounds super frustrating! I'll pass the feedback along to the team - maybe there's something we can do to better support quoted values.
