I have a US keyboard, but it just won't work. I have tried all options (2 key, E key and 5 key) but nothing works. Whenever I press the Alt-Gr + E, the Edit menu opens (same with the left-Alt + E). > I also found this: "Adding the nobreakspace keysym to space key" with the > > options to set it to any, second, third and fourth level. > > > > What is a level, and eg. if I set it to second level, how do I access > the > > nobreakspace char then? > > > Not sure about the nobreakspace char, but the levels are: > Level one: lower case characters. > Level two: Upper case characters (using the shift key). > Level three: Additional characters (using right alt (ALT GR) key). > Level four: More additional characters (using right alt plus shift). Thanks for the info. Didn't know that.But whatever settings I try, I don't get a nobreakspace char (ascii 160). Greetings, Manon.
