Variables and colors don't work in context

[way0utwest]

I was trying to get colors to work in a context mode, but more disturbing is I can't use variables.

Repro:
Run these from a CLI

1. create an instance - cmd create mssql --accept-eula --using https://aka.ms/AdventureWorksLT.bak
2. check things are running - sqlcmd query "select @@Version
3. try to check colors - sqlcmd query ":color list"

What if you put a space between query and " ?

Nope, doesn't work. I know you don't have access to results, but how do you with sqlcmd mode and not go-sqlcmd mode?

oh it's
:list color

10:13:08.52 e:\git\go-sqlcmd>set sqlcmdcolorscheme=emacs

10:13:14.09 e:\git\go-sqlcmd>sqlcmd query "select top (2) name from sys.objects
