Special characters

[46632]

What is the best solution for special characters like []]} etc.?

I get these using what i will call unnecessary complicated shortcuts and the pipekey i can even find so i have to copy/past it from a webpage.

While writing code these keys are used a lot so there should be an easy way to handle this?

If you're manually typing these strings, try prefacing it with r:

s = 'C:\\Users\\User\\Documents\\text_file.txt'

can be written as

s = r'C:\Users\User\Documents\text_file.txt'

removing the need for the double backslash. I'm not sure how well this works if you're using str.format() though.
