Delimiter options are limited - "+" as delimiter #1981

Expanded set of delimiter specification - User-specified character not in drop-down menu

I use the "+" as a safe delimiter because I have fewer conflicts with that as the choice.

Can that be offered as a drop-down option?

OR ... can the user be allowed to select any character of their choosing for the delimiter, as per original sed specification?

Thank you.

It becomes complicated when characters which typically have a special meaning in regular expressions, as used as delimiters. While technically possible, I try to avoid it and don't want to cause the additional confusion.
