Starting with a backslash causes flickering

[carpetdev]

To replicate (using latex suite), type:

1. mk (starts inline math mode, so we have $_$, where _ is the cursor)
2. \ (now we have $\_$)
   But unfortunately, this plugin hasn't kicked in and obsidian takes the second $ to be escaped so math mode is disabled. Expected outcome is ${} \_ {}$, where the decorations would hide the braces.

The reason this is an issue for me is that I have some automatic text mode snippets in latex suite which are accidentally triggering and causing undesired outcome. Of course, it's an easy enough workaround to have them check there isn't a preceding $ (with a negative lookbehind) because of this edge case, but I thought I'd point out this behaviour.

In fact, the plugin seems to not kick in for any single characters, which might be intended.
