RegEx special character text highlight - recommendation #182

Open BronsonMagnan opened 2 months ago

BronsonMagnan commented 2 months ago

I have seen several people distribute triggers containing eq dialog text with an embedded '?', and they have the regex box checked, and they do not know what a '?' means in regex, and then their trigger does not work. I recommend that, if the regex box is checked, any special regex characters show up highlighted, also have a hover over tool tip indicating that you can use a '\' to escape the character to be take as a literal. And maybe have a link on the trigger authoring window to regex101.com. that when opening with the link, the website starts with the user's trigger regular expression loaded in the field.
