[quoted lines by Samuel Thibault on 2006/04/17 at 22:39 +0200]

>Normal space, or U+2800 ?

I'd bind both g and h to U+2800.

Perhaps there's another approach, i.e. treat g,h,gh all as space, with each key
requesting an attritue of the space, i.e. nonbreaking,visible. Then, say, g
would mean nonbreaking, h would mean visible, and gh would mean both. I suggest
then mapping g and h to print equivalents, and mapping gh to U+2800 even if
Unicode doesn't technically agree with these attributes (yet).

>For now, I haven't bound any key to U+2800 since it is not considered as
>a breaking space.

I actually (now) think U+2800 should be a nonbreaking space.
