An exclamation mark has a special meaning for some terminals, related to command history. If I'm right, the command "!n" where n is an integer repeats the n-th last command; and "blabla!<tab> looks for older commands matching blabla.
Anyway. I had the same problem. The only workaround I found was to disable the history search features in bash : Add : set +o histexpand at the bottom of ~/.bashrc, source ~/.bashrc and your problem should be fixed.
Does anyone has a better workaround ?

When I used replace.py and tried to use an "!" in the replace text, it replaced it with a weird string of text (actually part of a replace command I ran weeks ago).
I've been able to fix everything except getting the ! where it should be.
If I run: python replace.py -cat:"The Transition Handbook" "-- Please do not remove " "!-- Please do not remove "
...t doesn't change anything.
If I try a backslash before the exclamation mark, "!", it prompts to insert it including the backslash.
How do I just insert a "!"? I tried looking online but found nothing.
Thanks Chris
