page separator in Kate editor
As a Kate developer, I unfortunately have to tell you that such control sequences are not supported. In fact, Kate often treats these files as binary files, since such characters are not human readable text. So in short: Try to avoid ^L.
PEP 8 says:

Python accepts the control-L (i.e. ^L)
  form feed character as whitespace;
  Many tools treat these characters as
  page separators, so you may use them
  to separate pages of related sections
  of your file

This look like a great idea for me, but in the text editor I use(kate) "control+L" is for save all files. Someone have any solution? 
... or I'm losing something here?
