Hi there,

I'm wondering why Pd (0.36) is dropping the blackslash when I try to enter one in a messagebox (and elsewhere too)? Any good reasons for doing so?

Since I really need blackslashes to escape a comma, I hacked g_editor.c and now I can type backslashes... will this brake something I'm currently not aware of?

My previous workaround was to enter them in the pd patch using a text editor which seemed to work as well but isn't that user friendly, of course.

PS. in g_editor.c in line 1342:

• if (keynum == '\' || keynum == '{' || keynum == '}')

• if (keynum == '{' || keynum == '}')
