I was editing a file and found accidentally that I somehow escaped all the forward slashes in a path I was replacing in text. And that is something very useful!
For instance, to do this replacement correctly I should escape the second path:
:%s/mvn//opt/maven/bin/mvn/g
I did that somehow with an accidental keystroke! But which one? :-(
Thank you.

You don't need to escape them: you could use a different separator for the search pattern and the replace part:
%s;mvn;/opt/maven/bin/mvn;g
But, if you really want to escape them, you can use a backslash ():
%s/mvn//opt/maven/bin/mvn/g
(much harder to read, IMO)
