When the setting to escape pasting into quotes is in effect, the reverse should 
happen when copying from inside quoted text. 
 
When I paste ^(([\w]+:)?[\w]+|\..?)$ inside quotes 
I get ^(([\\w]+:)?[\\w]+|\\..?)$ 
So I'd expect the original when copying from the string and pasting into e.g.

Hi.
This should be new option under:
"Escape text when pasting into string literal"

like:
"Unescape text when copying from string literal"
and should work only if copying is done inside ONE string.

In my opinion.

Was this issue forgotten? This bothers me all the time. Especially since its almost impossible to do correctly for complex regex expressions.
