If you change to Cmud or something of the similar there is a quick solution. A button called Parsing language click it or Ctrl + R to disable it to enter the alias/description etc then again to re enable afterwards. Some clients have @ or . as a special which can make the description editor a pain.
Most clients will have a special that you can put in front of other specials as well for example in Zmud ~ will make the next askey be what ever it is not what ever the code expects it to be.
