Hello, I just found how to replace ALT + UNICODE in Ubuntu It's by CTRL + SHIFT + U + UNICODE.
See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9666010#post9666010 The difference is that in Windows I had to insert the decimal value (160) while here I have to insert the unicode itself (00A0) See http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/A0/index.htm I just did it and it works great. So at this point I'm just wondering if there's any easier way to insert it by using a shortcut in Geany like in ooo writer It's quite hard to remeber CTRL + SHIFT + U + 00A0 instead of CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE ;) Thanks in advance for any tip Luca ------- Original Message Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:13:49 +0200 From: Luca Borrione <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Geany] How to type non-breaking space and soft hyphen in geany > > > Hi, > > I still have to find a keyboard with a non-breaking character in it! > :) > > I think there is a misunderstanding: I don't have to type * * (which is > the html entity) ..
