regex\_escape.vim ================= This plugin provides normal and visual mode mapping targets to insert escaping backslash characters before regular expression metacharacters for text selected by a motion, as a quick way to put a literal string into a regular expression context. It's useful generally as a shortcut, but the author particularly likes it for keeping track of backslash-heavy expressions where counting gets tiresome. For example, in the default BRE mode, this string: foo * ^bar $\ baz \ quux Becomes: foo \* \^bar \$\\ baz \\ quux License ------- Copyright (c) [Tom Ryder][1].
