How to input non-breaking space?

[David Baril]

I've noted that the circle key long press will act as a compose key but I am trying to find the valid key combinations. Specifically, I would like to know the combination that will produce the non breaking space character (U+00A0).

<Compose> <Space> <Space>.

– look at the reset() member function.

Thanks very much for the pointers. I tried the "<Compose> <Space> <Space>" but, for some reason, that didn't work for me (although I am able to create other symbols with Compose).  

Thanks to for directing me to the code, although on first inspection, I did not see the assignment for the NBSP.  I will continue to investigate as I am able.  In the meantime, I've found a workaround using a text expansion app that reliably inserts the NBSP when needed.

Thanks.

Sorry!  I found the code for <Compose> <Space> <Space>  [line 280  put(" ", " ");]

Nonetheless, it doesn't seem to work for me.
