What this PR does / why we need it:
Fix
\
escaping in:s
substitution commands. The pattern and replacement need to be processed differently, because\
s need to be preserved in the pattern for passing toRegExp
, whereas they need to actually be processed in the replacement.parsePattern
generally leaves backslashes alone, passing them on to the regular expression parser.parseReplace
interprets backslashes. New definitions for\b
(backspace),\&
(same as$&
), and\0
through\9
(same as$1
through$9
).Which issue(s) this PR fixes
Fixes #6890
Special notes for your reviewer:
I'd like to change how search (
/
) works as well, for #6520. But I'm findingsrc/actions/commands/search.ts
hard to follow. If you could point me in the right direction, I can try to fix that similarly.
