Updates issue description for TYPO3 12 (WITH CKE5)¶

I found actually no possibility to write a nbsp character between two words in CKEditor 5 in TYPO3 v12 in the WYSIWYG mode.

I created two videos for a easier description of the issues with CKE5 within TYPO3 12¶

• → Youtube video demo to describe the problem in TYPO3 12
• → Youtube video demo to show an working example in CKE5

TL;DR:

• adding only a nbsp between two words is not possible in WYSIWYG mode (tested on macOS, Chrome 108)
• nbsp html entity is only added when I add a second space (also by not pressing the shortcut for non breaking space) in WYSIWYG mode
• cross checking: I found an official CKE5 editor demo, where adding a nbsp is possible without problems
  • https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/features/special-characters.html
• a related issue in the CKE5 world

Requirements¶

It must be possible to add a nbsp if an advanced author press alt+space (option+space) like it was before in older TYPO3 versions.

Added also a quick poll on twitter about nbsp in TYPO3 context: https://twitter.com/jouschcom/status/1613839007061884928?s=20

Original issue description (which was targeted on CKE4)¶

There is no field or other possibility in rte_ckeditor to include   in the text.

It´s absolutely essential to use   for editors, e.g. "12 km" should not be displayed as
12
km

I recommend to include the plugin
http://ckeditor.com/addon/nbsp
in the sysext directly.

It inserts a   by <ctrl>+<space>
