How do I insert a Form Feed into a file, or specify it in the Find and Replace dialogs?

0

To insert a Form Feed (or any other non-typable character) use the EditTextInsertASCIICode command, which is by default mapped to Ctrl+Q. This starts up a dialog that lets you select Esc and Ctrl+A – Ctrl+Z easily by name, or specify any ASCII code you like as a number. To specify Form Feed in the Find or Replace dialogs, write it as the two- character sequence “\f”. You can also specify end-of-line by “\n” and tab by “\t”; and you can specify an arbitrary code as “\xhh”, where “hh” represents two hex digits. Remember that if you actually want a “\” character, you need to write it as “\\”.
