Well the obvious solution would be ASCII 0x1D (Group Separator)! Accept, no one actually uses those ASCII characters. Kind of bums me out that UNIX basically skipped out on them.
- kevinmgranger 4y agoIt's not a separator character, but at least vim and emacs acknowledge the page feed character. A pittance, I suppose.
- lelanthran 4y ago> It's not a separator character, Isn't it? I thought all the separator characters (0x1e, 0x1f, 0x1c) were specifically for delimiting records, fields and units. What are they for?
- civopsec 4y agoThey’re saying that “page feed character” (I’m guessing form feed) is acknowledged by Emacs, in contrast to those separator characters. I think it’s used to mark sections in Emacs Lisp code.
- hermitcrab 4y agoI agree. Lots of discussion related to proposing that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31220841 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31220841
