My question is, how would you typographically approach quoting of shell commands? My current solution does not satisfy me completely.

    What exactly are you looking for? What doesn't satisfy you about the current look?

    Well, but which is your current approach? Besides the image of the result, it would be good to know the current code you are using.

    Welcome to TeX.SE. It would be helpful if you composed a fully compilable MWE including \documentclass and the appropriate packages that shows your current code. While solving problems can be fun, setting them up is not. Then, those trying to help can simply cut and paste your MWE and get started on suggesting alternatives.

  • Hey, since the matter is not regarding code, but purely typographic approach towards the issue, I do not believe it is necessary to include code. I am fine with purely code-less suggestions for the solution.

I use the listings package, with the sh language. You can then say e.g. \lstinline!for i in $(seq 0 10); do echo "Now $i"; done! inline and get it (reasonably) typeset. Or include complete scripts, with the same typography.

Other "typeset programs" packages might be useful too, I'm just used to listings. Rummage around in CTAN.
