Snippet: please prevent backslash from getting interpreted on pasting, for example with new “#RAW” directive?

For example:

Snippet:
nFound = document.selection.Find(“^\\s*?$”,[ replace,] eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceRegExp | eeReplaceAll );

Get paste as:
nFound = document.selection.Find(“^\s*?$”,[ replace,] eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceRegExp | eeReplaceAll );

 

And snippet:
LineBreak = “\r\n” ;
LinesArray = SelText.split(LineBreak);

Get paste as:
LineBreak = ”
” ;
LinesArray = SelText.split(LineBreak);

 
 
I would like a feature to disable this behavior of interpreting backslash sequences as commend.

Perhaps for example by inventing a third Type, or by just adding a # directive at top of all snippets in question, like #raw, which disable that backslash swallowing.

Snippet:
// #RAW // paste this snippet as stored, do not interpret backslashes as commend.
nFound = document.selection.Find(“^\\s*?$”,[ replace,] eeFindNext | eeFindReplaceRegExp | eeReplaceAll );

 

I know I could escape each backslash on my own, but that is too much on a daily basic while dealing with many snippets.

 

Thank you for making EmEditor.
