I there a way to insert text into a string unchanged?

I currently want to split a text into a Scala list and for this I try to insert " :: " into the string. However on Command-V i get \" :: \" — I there a way to switch that “smart insert” off? To insert the text unchanged!

“Paste as plain text” doesn't to the trick.

Putting a // in front of the line so IDEA thinks it's a comment does help — but that's not a satisfying solution when Command-V only works properly in comments.
