Editing Space bar (section)

==Usage==
A single press on the space bar enters a single space character (ASCII 0x20).

Alt Gr + Space (or Control + Shift + Space) often enters a non-breaking space character (Unicode 0xA0).

As most users only press one part of the space bar, some keyboards split the space bar to allow some of the wasted space to be repurposed. The [[Filco Minila]] divides the space bar into three, with the first and third segment optionally mapped as the [[Fn key]]. In keyboards with [[Erase-Eaze]], one side functions as backspace.

A new [[keyboard layout]] called "[http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51069.0 SpaceFN]" has recently been mooted, which allows the user to treat the entire space bar as the [[Fn key]], with the space character being generated only if space bar is pressed and released without any intermediate keystrokes being detected.
