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:

let foobar = [
      \ 'foo',|

The o in a normal mode or <CR> in an insert mode makes the content like:

let foobar = [
      \ 'foo',
      \ |

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

let foobar = line('.') ==# 'Hello'
      \ ? 'Good bye'
      \ : 'Foobar'
      \ |

let foobar = line('.') ==# 'Hello'
      \ ? 'Good bye'
      \ : 'Foobar'
|
