Nonbreakable Spaces: French Requirement

May 06, 2020

A Non-breakable Space (NBSP) is used in French text when two “items” (e.g., words, numbers, punctuation and special characters) need to stay together and NOT be separated between 2 lines when content adjusts with responsive design (users access content with different sized screens).

Most applications allow for Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar to insert the NBSP, but that doesn’t work in Rise. Is there a way to insert a NBSP in Rise? Thanks.

Hi, it's been for years the feature has been asking, and still nothing. But, with accessibility, it is more needed than ever because a linebreak stops the screen reader and the learner need to push the arrow key to continue the splited sentence.

It's also an issue for the translations when the sentences are splitted.

So, if you can push the resquest on top of the list, it will be super helpful for many users ;)
