"""
I've just figured out that I am unable to insert non-breaking spaces (CTRL-SHIFT-SPACE) any more in LibreOffice Writer because CTRL+SPACE now switches between keyboard layouts.

I consider this very unlucky, not only because non-breaking spaces, but also because many developer tools use CTRL-SPACE as function completion or similar.

We need a different default setup. Maybe classic windows ALT-SHIFT is offering itself - or is there any problem with that?

Yes, there are workarounds, indeed... But why not to stick with a multiplatform standard? I believe CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE is used on most systems for non-breaking space...
