Snippet: Snippet processes all backslashes? OK?

Started by: Stefan2 voices2 posts

All backslashes found in an snippet gets processed?
But for some snippets i didn't want/like that.
Do i miss something in the configuration?

What i mean is:

Have an snippet:
C:WindowsSystem32DriverStore

Insert this snippet to the document i get:
C:WindowsSystem32DriverStore

(Even worser snippet:
X:Testbackslashesinthesnippets
because of b and t ;-) )

Tested with
11.0.5
11.1.7 beta


----------

Of course i could use as snippet:
C:WindowsSystem32DriverStore

to get the wanted:
C:WindowsSystem32DriverStore

But that is not that nifty because i have
to do that for every new snippet.

How can that be improved?
Maybe new snippet type: Plain Text ?
(insert as is, no backslash translation at all)


.
Yes, I agree. I think the escape option possibly confuses people anyway. The snippet should be stored and used as is.

Personally I use FlashPaste for my snippets:

Means I can recall snippets in any app.
