Page break character

Try as I might, I couldn't find any reference as to what the actual Page break character is. Is there a way to create this via the keyboard apart from Ctrl-Shift-L?.

Thanks

If you are editing an ANSI file then new page is generally a form feed character "x0C", so if you look at the file in hex mode then you can see a Ctrl-shift-L generates "x0C" - all stems from early printer days of "LF"s, "FF"s and "CR"s (line feeds, form feeds and carriage returns).

If you don't like Ctrl-Shift-L, you could define whatever key combination you want:
Configure -> Preferences -> Keyboard,
Category Edit, Command EditPageBreak

Both the FF, LF, CR informatio,n and the macro assignment instructions helped to resolve my issue.

Thanks for both replies.
