 |
|
I recently had some problems when coding C which turned out that special characters were inserted in my C code which the compiler didn't like.
When investigating I realized that the characters come from nobreakspaces. Apparently when using shift-space I insert nobreakspaces. After looking around a bit this should happen when I do CTRL-SHIFT-SPACE, but now it also does that with Shift-Space. Maybe something is wrong with my keyboard mappings, although everything else is working correctly. Any ideas of how to get rid of this behavior?
Here is a short text file shown in scite:
| Code: | NEW IN TOWN
NEWÂ INÂ TOWN
          Â
NEWÂ INÂ TOWN
NEWÂ INÂ TOWN |
1. line: only space
2. line: holding shift while entering the whole line
3. line: repeatedly typing shift-space
4. line: same as 2.
5. line: using Ctrl-Shift-Space
The same file with cat test.txt in terminal:
| Code: | NEW IN TOWN
NEW IN TOWN
NEW IN TOWN
NEW IN TOWN |
xev output when doing shift-space:
