Hello list,
first of all, I know that character "\" produces a keydrop 92 because it is a reserved character for internal communication in PD (or am I wrong?).
This being said, in the [text] object help file, if you go to: [pd delete] you can see some "\" characters in the message that recovers deleted info.
I have a couple of questions with this,
1st) How do you write "\" if pd does not let you do it? I have seen the file as a text and observed that "\\\;" produce "\;"
2nd) this one is kind of an expected bug, but it shouldn't freeze PD, if I try to copy "\" with "command + c" in mac from that message, pd freezes.
Is there a way to escape these limitations, the character "\" can be important when sending information via OSC to other programs or scripts running in LISP.
