Bringing form feeds to TextMate!
A page break, or form feed character is an ASCII whitespace character which originally signaled a printer to advance to the next page before continuing to print the current document. It can still be used today to break a document up into logical pages.
Representation of this character varies:
^L(control-L) is traditional\fis the C-style escape sequence- ␌ is the Unicode Control Pictures character for form feed
- TextMate shows it as
<NP>
This bundle makes it easy to type ^L and move between these pages in the style
of the Emacs forward-page and backward-page functions.
The forward-page function moves the cursor to just after the next page break, or to the end of the current document.
The backward-page function moves the cursor to just after the previous page break, or to the beginning of the current document.
