Now this is funny. In one string in LP I have removed the second \ where 
there were two and I have added a code with one \. When I copy the 
string to Lokalize I see this:
\application{Nautilus}, where '\a' are green. In LP I have also added 
\keystroke{Ctrl+T} (one \). This gets a double green \ in Lokalize.
Can you still follow me?
Experimenting is fun, as long as you understand what is going on. And 
here I am a bit at a loss. I think copying and pasting make things a bit 
complicated. For the moment I think I should NOT remove the second \ in 
LP when it is put there by copying and pasting.
