Anyone else editing files with formfeeds?
The symbol popup menu gets stumped by these characters.

Much appreciated if you could duplicate this bug: <radr://6095250>

I put in an enhancement request for something inventive to be done with them. I'd be interested to hear anyone's speculation about what would be useful behavior.

I can think of several inventive things to do with formfeeds, but they're all illegal in 49 states. ;)

Seriously (or mostly seriously), considering the ... what? ... millions? of man-hours programmers have wasted in the 40 or so years since ASCII was invented dealing with device-control characters in text, why on earth would you want to prolong the torture??

When management requires code listings (such as for code walk-throughs) it would be great to insert form-feeds into the code between methods so it will print out having each method beginning on a new page. Ditto for job interviews when you need to bring in sample code to show. I guess Xcode could automatically detect this semantically and pad the output when printing...

Why not write a program to look for all the function name{........} blocks?

and then when you need to print it out, simply drop your xcode project file on that and out of the printer comes your line feed pages?
