I'm not sure how far back this goes, but on Leopard at least, pressing Option-Space on the US or US Extended keyboard layouts inserts a non-breaking space (U+00A0) rather than a normal space (U+0020). This might be useful for some people; unfortunately there seems to be no simple shortcut for inserting non-breaking hyphens on either of these two keyboard layouts.

Insert non-breaking spaces
That's been around as long as I can remember, I think in the pre-OS X days as well. I can only test it in Classic right now, but yes, it works there.
Insert non-breaking spaces
Yes, it was already there before Mac OS X, and with international keyboard layouts as well.
Insert non-breaking spaces
It goes back to System 1.0.
Insert non-breaking Hyphen
In MS-Word (only) it is CMD-SHIFT-<hyphen> to create a non-breaking hyphen.
Insert non-breaking spaces
Non breaking hyphen us unicode u2011 - I'm not sure if it has a normal keyboard way of entering it, but if you choose the 'Unicode Hex Input' input method, you can do opt+2011 to enter it.
Insert non-breaking spaces
Woah. I am surprised this isn't in here yet. This has definitely been around since the classic days, maybe even System 1.0 as another commenter suggests.
Insert non-breaking spaces
I'm not sure how far back this goes, but on Leopard at least, pressing Option-Space on the US or US Extended keyboard layouts inserts a non-breaking space (U+00A0) rather than a normal space (U+0020).This has been the rule on French keyboards since... but it's broken in Mail.app in Leopard (I never used Mal.app before TimeMachine and the fact that a big mail database is a Go hog in backups). Mail.app 3 inserts normal spaces instead of non breaking spaces and it's frustrating. In French you insert non-breaking spaces before "; : ? !" and » and after «. So you get punctuation marks at the beginning of lines and that's not very clean, to say the least.
Insert non-breaking spaces
In OS X, you can easily create new shortcuts. |
