Prevent ? from moving to query parameters

I'm working on some interesting APIs that have a "?" in their path, like so:

/api/?other/stuff/here

However, if I type "?" in the request URL in Paw, it automatically moves my cursor into the query parameter fields. Is there a way to disable this? I'm forced to use postman at the moment to work around this, which is less than ideal.

As mentioned before, using %3F should work nicely!

Another, more generic way is to use the URL-Encode dynamic value:

  1. Right-click on the field where you want to insert the special character and pick Encoding > URL-Encoding > Encode

Pick a URL-Encode Dynamic Value in Paw

  1. A popup opens and you can type your special character (here ?) in the Input field. You should see the preview of the encoded value at the bottom of the popup.

URL-Encode a special character in Paw

  1. Continue to type the end of the URL after this dynamic value. And you should be good to go!

Nevermind, using %3F instead fixed the issue
