Does anyone know how to use escape code characters in text fields or formulas?  
I want, for example, to be able to add tabs, carriage returns etc.

If it’s not possible, I’ll change this to a feature request 🙂

[update: no reply, so moved to feature request category 🙂]

Hello.

This is not possible at the moment. Characters in string literals are automatically escaped. I’ve checked that other tools like Coda, solves this by introducing special function `Character(number_of_unicode_character_here)`. Probably we will go that way, anywhere need to think it out. Hopefully we will fix this in nearest future (several weeks), but cannot promise any particular date right now.

Hey folks,  
Was this point somehow addressed since then (sorry, not sure how to check potential follow-up on this thread)?  
Cheers.
