Wait a minute. I don't think we are talking about the same thing.
Note that the patch I provided is to change the behavior within *latex*
paragraphs.
Try the following in you lyx:
Open a latex paragraph and type:
\begin{verbatim} H~~H~~H~~H == H H H H == H~~H H~~H \end{verbatim}
Then export a nice latex file, the file will look like this:
\begin{verbatim} H~~H~~H~~H == H ~H ~H ~H == H~~H ~H~~H \end{verbatim}
Which is a complete diferent thing.
The patch I did fixes the above:
If you type a tilde char, then you get a tilde char.
If you type a space char then you get a space char.
Giving complete transparency to the user (within latex paragraphs only).
Regards,
