I keep on accidentally typing altgr+space instead of space, which results in a non-blocking space and a compiler error. I have absolutely no need to use the said character in my code other than maybe in unicode notation, so what's the best way to turn this feature of in Eclipse? Alternatively, a system wide disable for it would be fine too.
I'm running Eclipse Mars & Linux Mint 17.1 Mate
The quickest way is to press Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar (or on a Mac, type Option+Spacebar). Alternatively, you can select 'Non-breaking Space' from the Insert>Special Characters menu. To work in more depth with non-breaking spaces, you need to be able to see them.
A nonbreaking space is the same width as a word space, but it prevents the text from flowing to a new line or page. It's like invisible glue between the words on either side. Word.
this did the trick
setxkbmap -option "nbsp:none"
