Single backslash

[ukandrewc]

Can you add an option to only use a single backslash during insertion.
I just need \path\ not \\path\\

Thanks

Can you please provide an use case for it ?

The way we have it right now it will insert \\ if you are in a quoted string, otherwise it will insert \

I second this.

A use case: windows bat files which do not require escaping in quoted string.

Another bug maker situation is when we are in raw-string-literal.
raw strings already ignores escape character, so we don't need to use double backslash!

this has been fixed in v1.21.0
Please try it out and reopen if you notice any issues.

the path-autocomplete.useSingleBackslash preference has been introduced to control this.

I also tried to add some detection for that raw-string-literal use case listed above.
