Hi all!
I have a problem with invisible characters here. E.g. writing perl code, I use || quite often. I produce this character on my Swiss German keyboard using Option-7. Normally, I put a space after || to increase readability. There it happens that I keep the option key pressed while pressing the space key - and this apparently produces some invisible character. In any case, perl complains:
Unrecognized character \xC2 at /Users/abonhote/test2.pl line 5.
I have turned on "show invisibles", but the extra character doesn't show up. How can I avoid typing these characters?
Thanks in advance!
André

You can create a new snippet in the bundle editor and use the following options:
Save: Nothing Commands: echo -n " " Input: None Output: Insert as Text Activation: Key Equivalent
Then go to the field next to Key Equivalent and press option space, like you would when you type accidentally the wrong character.
Close the bundle editor and every time you would write this character a space should be inserted.

Please note:
OPTION+SPACE is the default keyboard shortcut to select the previous input source, i.e. if you enable more than one input method in System Preferences' International this shortcut won't work.
Maybe you create a real ;) snippet with "|| " (without the double quotes) and bind it to |. Then you | and press TAB to get || SPACE.
Hans
PS André's suggestion is not a snippet it is a command

That's a UTF-8 non-breaking space (it's actually the sequence 0xA0, 0xC2). I had hoped you could use the Perl "use utf8" or "use encoding 'utf8'" pragmas to convince Perl to accept the nbsp as a plain space, but no such luck.
Another alternative to the snippet suggestion would be to assign a macro to find all occurrences of the nbsp and replace them with a space.
FWIW, for me the "Show Invisibles" setting shows the nbsp character as dot, probably the Unicode code point 2022 BULLET character (•). Maybe you're using a font which doesn't contain this glyph?
