Please don't make it too easy to insert a NBSP, except in text modes. Subreptitious insertion of NBSP in code is a pain the . I just helped someone who suffered from "in C++ every once in a while, the SPC after << turns into a char \240 which I can't see in Emacs but on which gcc burps". It turns out the problem is that to insert a < on his keyboard he needs to hit Alt-, and he often wasn't careful enough to release the Alt before hitting the subsequent SPC and Alt-SPC on his keyboard sends an NBSP. So you can understand I'm not looking forward to Shift-SPC inserting an NBSP. Stefan
