Good evening
and I thank everybody for their help.
Summary:
* Yes, my KB does have a backslash. But pressing it (no matter what KB 
layout it use) ALWAYS produces a \. They are supposed to be identical.
* I thought about inserting a backslash via symbols, but that alsow 
produces a \; in the Find dialog it does not work.
* Neither does copying the "tab portion" from any piece of text.
* I do not use Linux, so those commands do not help me.
* This operation apparently does not work in a text editor either.
* I thought about replacing "space[" with something like "spacekk" (with 
or without the space). THAT does not work either.
* I just tried to find simply "[" (without the quotes).
* Unchecking "Regular expressions" DOES find the brackets, but then 
inserts "\t[" (where the \ is a backslash). But that is not what I want 
.. and not helpful.

Does this really have to be so difficult?
In the hope, there IS a way to accomplish this.
Thank you.
Thomas
