turn \ into a prepended escape character like <space>

[Konfekt]

See #164 (comment)

turn \ into an additional escape character which precedes the surrround character that follows .

For example ysiw\B with the cursor at word gives {word}. That is, \ is analogous to .

This is useful in LaTeX where some surround characters such as {} must be escaped to be displayed.

Not thoroughly battle-tested to say the least.

This can't be right. strpart(..., 0) is a no-op, and you're calling after stripping the desired character out of newchar.

Ok, I adjusted it but am at loss if this covers

the second portion on the input side [that needs fixing] too?

[Konfekt]

To my delight, even though the codebase is inscrutable to me, \ works like magic.

@tpope anything to remedy for this pull request being merged?

[Konfekt]

@tpope Sorry for the bugging, but is there anything that has yet to be fixed?

You can start by following the contribution guidelines mentioned in the README.

I did and the Comitt Message Shows. So please speak out.

The subject line isn't capitalized and the body isn't wrapped to 72 characters.

Thanks for clearing that up. It's all done now.

Unfortunately this patch doesn't apply the backslash properly on the left side, I end up with "\foo\".

I've created a pull request #225 to fix this, plus added support for deleting and changing backslash escaped characters

Great, thanks!
