_vim-backslash_ is a filetype plugin which support to insert a leading backslash to continue expression in Vim script.

Assume "|" indicate the cursor in the following content:

```vim

let foobar = [

      \ 'foo',|

```

The `o` in a normal mode or `` in an insert mode makes the content like:

```vim

let foobar = [

      \ 'foo',

      \ |

```

And when the line contains only white spaces and "\" like:

```vim

let foobar = line('.') ==# 'Hello'

      \ ? 'Good bye'

      \ : 'Foobar'

      \ |

```

Hitting `o` or `` remove the leading spaces and "\" like:

```vim

let foobar = line('.') ==# 'Hello'

      \ ? 'Good bye'

      \ : 'Foobar'

|

```

Note that this plugin care about `g:vim_indent_cont` which is used in

[\$VIMRUNTIME/indent/vim.vim](https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/indent/vim.vim)
