[BUG] how to add a 'None breaking space'? chr 160 while editing and don't remove them on save

[obw]

The normal way would be:
ctrl+space or ctrl+shift+space
But both combinations do nothing.

I don't think a shortcut for it exists. Assuming the default Qt control works as expected, you can probably find a method to enter it that works in this table.

So now this is a Bug...

1. I found no way to enter this char!
2. When I edit a file, with an other Editor and add there the non-breaking-space, Manuskript replace it, with a normal space (chr 32).

@worstje thanks for your effort.

P.S. I used VIM to validate this..
P.P.S.: I closed Manuskript, edit a textfile of a Project, open Manuskript, edit the File again- After this the the NBSP where gone:(

Going through some old issues to see what is relevant and what isn't... this one is still relevant even though recent versions of Qt are a lot more unicode/emoji friendly that resolves some related issues.

A partial fix for this was implemented in my local branch of assorted fixes which I'll prepare a PR for at the end of this weekend.

Unfortunately Qt has a completely idiotic decision to just replace non-breaking spaces with spaces in one of their core classes. The closest thing I see to properly fixing it for our users (due to the weirdness of PyQt) is to reimplement all of the copy-paste functionality myself, which is not remotely in the scope of the little fixes I wanted to do this weekend. (I spent too much time on this as it is!)

So my fix will leave copy-paste broken (making it hard to verify the non-breaking space is not getting butchered), but internally, the non-breaking spaces will remain intact after you enter them.
