CKEditor Non-breaking space Plugin ( )
This module allows users to insert non-breaking spaces into content using a keyboard shortcut or a button. This is useful for preventing unwanted line breaks, such as when displaying company names with two words. The non-breaking spaces are highlighted in blue within the CKEditor for visibility.
Minimal module to insert a non-breaking space ( ) into the content by pressing Ctrl+Space or using the provided button.
Uses
