I can't believe I don't know how to do this, as many years as I have
been using Writer.

Suppose I have a line of text that ends with a scientific notation like
"[-sonorant]." Because of the length of the line Writer breaks it
between the "[-" and the "sonorant]. 

To further clarify, the automatic line break makes it end like [-
sonorant], followed by the rest of the sentence.

This is just wrong. I need Writer to keep it all on one line so it is
[-sonorant].

Of course, I can just enter some spaces to force it (and I did, just to
get the job done), but that is not a good solution. If I later edit the
text before or after there will be some extra spaces that should not be
there.

I thought I could just select "[-sonorant]" and apply some feature to
it so it would always stay together. But I can't find any way to do
that. I can't use Insert Non-Breaking Space because the notation
doesn't have any spaces in it. A non-breaking hyphen would work, except
that I can't use a hyphen. The standards for the notation require an
n-dash, which Writer interprets as a regular hyphen.

Is there any way to tell Writer "keep the next X characters together"?
