Feature request: add option to escape certain symbols in non-blockquotes mode too #39

Description

@hsandt

I copy a lot of commit names and thread names with [Category] Topic so I need either either manually escape individual [ with backslash \[ or to surround the whole [] with backticks each time.

I found this plugin which does the job when enabling Escape characters in blockquotes (and adding [ to the list of Escape characters regex), but only when pasting in a Blockquotes mode variant.

Since I just plain commit, issue and thread names as normal text, I'd need an option to make it work for normal text too. Essentially, what I need is a paste that escapes any Markdown special character (and mostly opening [, since the closing ] won't be an issue once the opening one is escaped - but your custom character list makes it flexible enough for me to pick what to escape).
