Special characters in file name #312

Creating a file with special characters in its name in Nota, such as ", ?, /, \, ., and | causes them to be replaced with a hyphen. However, creating files with those characters Finder and opening it in Nota works. It would be great if Nota could support those characters on filesystem formats that support them, such as macOS.

We do it because we want the file names to work cross-platform so everything works when we release Nota for Windows.

However, I will once again think about this. I'm actually not sure what will happen to such files if they appear on a Windows machine.
