Is there a keyboard shortcut to add a non-breaking space in Chrome
We have a number of staff/ clients using Chrome to manage various Content Management Systems (i.e. Squarespace, Shopify, Silverstripe, Wordpress etc.)
In some cases the users want to add a non-breaking space. For example they might want Our Company Limited
to not break in a new line:
Our Company
Limited
In HTML this can be done by writing Our Company Limited
but many of the users aren't technically savvy or can't enter raw HTML into their CMSs.
Are there any keyboard shortcuts they can use to enter a non breaking space into a text box in Chrome?
Solution 1:
You can use the operating system specific keyboard shortcuts. They work in most applications, including Chrome.

or Enter
Windows: Left Alt
+ 255

; while holding it, type 255
on the number pad; release Left Alt
Mac OS: Opt
+ Space
I haven't tested the Mac OS one (do not have Mac on hand), but Wikipedia suggests it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-breaking_space#Keyboard_entry_methods
