Escape Character in AutoReplace File

[zakko]

I want to add a replace command like the following:

== = :=

But there are obviously too many equals signs in there. How do I escape these to let PL/SQL Developer know what to do?

Talking about excape characters and AutoReplace:

How can I escape an input in PL/SQL Developer, that by chance matches with a replace command, if I want explicitly this literal input and not a replace at that point?

The "==" example does not seem possible at the moment. We'll add an escape option in version 14.0.

I'm not sure I understand your 2nd post. Can you provide an example?

Cool, that you will add the "==" option for v14.0. Thanks for that one!

Regading my second post:

Let's say I've got "sf = select * from" in my AutoReplace.txt file. Now I'm editing existing code with a variable name "sf". I assume, I currently have to deactivate auto replacement or change the keyboard shortcut in case I use the space bar to trigger auto replace (which I think is by far the most handy selection for it) to go on writing code.

I was wondering, if there is/could be an easy escape option for that within the code.
