It’s my first plugin and it’s super simple but there could easily be somethings worth knowing from this e.g. python coding practices, potential bugs

import sublime import sublime_plugin  class EscapeAndPasteCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):     def run(self, edit, **kwargs):         # Get the clipboard text         originalText = textToPaste = sublime.get_clipboard()          # Loop through the arguments making changes where possible         for replacement in kwargs:             # print("replacing '" + replacement + "'' with '" + kwargs[replacement] + "'")             textToPaste = textToPaste.replace(replacement,kwargs[replacement])         # Place the text back into the clipboard and paste in place         sublime.set_clipboard(textToPaste)         self.view.run_command("paste")          # Restore the original text to the clipboard         sublime.set_clipboard(originalText) 

So the idea is you feed this a dictionary of matches and replacements that it will perform on the clipboard object. Once those changes are made it restores the untouched text to the clipboard.

So I made a key binding for this so that when I am pasting text, in my markdown files, that has file paths it will autoescape it for me e.i. underscores and slashes that are meant to be just that.

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+v"],      "command": "escape_and_paste",      "args": {         "\": "\\",         "_" : "\_",         "*" : "\*"     } } 

It works well for me and I think I would be lost without it now makes my documentation processes.
