On windows you would need to type [Alt]+0+1+2. The numbers have to be on the numeric pad, which on some laptops without that would include further function keys to be setup to type the character.

Some editors will accept this and display a [FF] representation (notepad2, notepad++). Others just don't work (eclipse, wordpad, notepad). gVim can still use [Ctrl]+L

This is a really bad choice if your code can only be edited by some text editors. Perhaps a secondary string to use for splitting in addition?

Does it depend on Windows, or on your editor? In seem to remember remapping ctrl-L to form feed in UltraEdit, for example ...

The only thing I'm seeing that Ctrl-L is otherwise used for is to focus the address bar in a web browser:

Assuming one didn't care about clobbering that (you also get F6 there), I wonder if something could be done with a scancode map (see http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/).
