That's the question about the use case. I don't have one. So i made Alt+Spacebar behave like Spacebar. But the typographical purpose of NO-BREAK SPACE is to look like space without inviting an automatic line break. So making it look not like space would be absurd. > It seems a recipe for confusion at best, > and for exploits at worst. It's name should be Spoof Space. On an UTF-8 terminal it travels with Copy+Paste and survives in bash history. Imagine my initial panic when my few weeks old Debian told me that there is no '..' in an ext4 directory. Have a nice day :) Thomas
