I guess, what you effectively want is a wider space than normal. IMO typing two normal spaces is not the adequate method to achieve this (except if typing on a typewriter). In Unicode you have plenty of different [spaces][1] at your disposal. A normal space is similar to a four-per-em space; so I would use either a three-per-em space (U+2004) or an en space (U+2002). To make the text entry more comfortable, you could … - assign an abbreviation (e.g. ".␣␣" --> ". ") in any of the text expanding utilities (e.g. [Typinator][2] is very good) - assign the desired space character directly to a key, by modifying your keyboard layout (e.g. with [Ukelele][3]) -- Tom [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character [2]: http://www.ergonis.com/products/typinator/ [3]: http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele _______________________________________________ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com http://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate
