How can I change the keyboard combination for a non-breaking space (NBSP) from shift
+space
to something else?
It took a while for me to figure this out: when coding, I run into issues related to using an NBSP accidentally, for example at … = "…
. Python for example complains about invalid character in identifier
here. That is because I leave Shift
pressed while typing all the characters, which makes the spaces be NBSPs.
This happens only on my computer running Manjaro Gnome, in any application (Firefox, Evolution, gedit, Atom, LibreOffice, …). On my other computer running OSX the combination of Shift
+Space
does not change the regular space character.
According to the NBSP WP entry this is not even the default key combination to generate an NBSP, but I can not remember me changing this anywhere.
So this is why I am asking where this setting could be placed, or how I can change this in Manjaro Gnome 17.1 Hakoila?
