Forgot to add, I'm not the only one with this problem: http://www.strehle.de/tim/weblog/archives/2013/02/26/1563 |
In Kate, if you type a NO-BREAK SPACE character, you can see it, it's in pale gray. But not in Konsole. The problem is if you're coding in PHP in Konsole and accidently type a nobreakspace character then PHP will throw errors. Even though you cannot see any error because character is invisible, just like a space. My keyboard layout is French (Canada), Canadian Multilingual. I can print the character with ALT+SPACE with the right ALT only, it doesn't work with the left one. This is the information of the character in xev: xev output: KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001, root 0x2a3, subw 0x0, time 310994640, (174,179), root:(176,202), state 0x90, keycode 65 (keysym 0xa0, nobreakspace), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 a0) " " XmbLookupString gives 2 bytes: (c2 a0) " " XFilterEvent returns: False And with xmodmap -pke, it is: keycode 65 = space space space space nobreakspace NoSymbol nobreakspace I can fix the problem with xmodmap by remapping ALT+SPACE like so: xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap nano ~/.Xmodmap replace all nobreakspace with space However I think Konsole should, just like Kate and LibreOffice, print the nobreakspace as a gray square character. Reproducible: Always
