Overview
This PR addresses an issue where backslashes (
\
) in pasted content are mistakenly interpreted as escape sequences, leading to the unintended removal of the backslash. This behavior occurs because the source of the pasted content is often unknown, and the backslashes are not properly escaped.To prevent this, the PR introduces a solution that automatically escapes all backslashes that appear before punctuation marks. This ensures that the backslashes are not misinterpreted as escape characters, preserving the intended content during the paste operation.
This will help with this internal issue.
