Windows paths with backslash are a pain in the ass. Unlike on Linux where the path separator character is slash which is at a convenient place on the keyboard backslash is inconvenient when one wants to type a path into the command prompt.

So backslash had to go.

This small script makes it possible to use slash in the command prompt when typing a path. When typing a slash, a backslash will appear.

Sometimes however simple slash is also needed (e.g. for command line options), so slash after a space results in a normal slash:

For that and more than that I have made UPath. Its an AutoHotkey function (library). But it do more than only converting slash to backslash. Its currently in heavy development phase. What do u think about that?

Umm, I now UPath is not the fastes thing ever ...
