| Apr 8, 2017 at 19:58 | comment | added | bpj | Ilmari Karonen is right, so this is not about the explanation but just to describe my workaround. I have added a syntax match linking the non-breaking space to the Error highlighting group, so that it is visibly different from ordinary space. The same goes for soft hyphen and non-breaking hyphen (which are linked to two different highlight groups since I sometimes use all of these intentionally in text as opposed to code). | |

| Apr 7, 2017 at 13:08 | comment | added | Sarumanatee | @progo YES. I'm on macos right now, and use Karabiner to fine-tune the keyboard layout since my keyboard's most bottom-left is "fn" by default, which I believe is completely dumb. You inspired me to check in there, and there is an option to change all non-breaking spaces to normal space | |

@Sarumanatee: on linux you can indeed disable nbsp character altogether. Perhaps Ubuntu's keyboard manager even has an option for it. If not, you can tune the keyboard map yourself (it's a matter of deleting one line, in my system the keymap would be /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us) after finetuning call setxkbmap us or whatever language of your preference
