Hi :) Brilliant!! Ctrl z is much easier than faffing around deleting spaces. Alex i found the same as you except if i typed a space after the close brackets and maybe some more text and then went back to delete the space-before-the-close-brackets.
So, now we are finding tons of ways to avoid it but i think Barry's is the best yet. I tend to have a little finger hoovering over the "a" key that can easily reach the Ctrl key which moves my 3rd-finger quite near the Z. So, it all works really easily if you keep your fingers roughly in touch-typing position. Plus it means you don't have to switch off any of the auto-correction stuff which can be pretty handy.
