I just type ALT(space). It's even easier than SHIFT(-) (underscore). Anyway, I have found using 0xa0 (and underscore) very handy to prevent the kinds of contortions necessary when dealing with filenames and other text using word-oriented tools. I really don't think that space characters belong in filenames, but that's just my opinion.
