Chickens In Space Mac OS
Bullroarer asks: 'How do I perform Terminal commands on any items on my Mac that have spaces in their pathnames? Because Finder allows spaces in file and directory names, I'm often creating such with spaces but then if I try to cd to one in the Terminal the space kills the command.

That's been around as long as I can remember, I think in the pre-OS X days as well. I can only test it in Classic right now, but yes, it works there.

https://bonuslexhotthanzgethotter.peatix.com. Yes, it was already there before Mac OS X, and with international keyboard layouts as well.
Our home (fann) mac os. I'm not sure how far back this goes, …
It goes back to System 1.0.
In MS-Word (only) it is CMD-SHIFT-<hyphen> to create a non-breaking hyphen.
Non breaking hyphen us unicode u2011 - I'm not sure if it has a normal keyboard way of entering it, but if you choose the 'Unicode Hex Input' input method, you can do opt+2011 to enter it.
A bit clumsy though.

Woah. I am surprised this isn't in here yet. This has definitely been around since the classic days, maybe even System 1.0 as another commenter suggests.
Option-Space also sometimes lets you type a space character when the spacebar would otherwise do something else, such as selecting the first item in a folder instead of activating Quicklook in the Leopard Finder (I think this hint was posted here). Ditto for selecting playlists in iTunes instead of play/pausing (I don't know if that has been hinted. Fair game if it hasn't).
I'm not sure how far back this goes, but on Leopard at least, pressing Option-Space on the US or US Extended keyboard layouts inserts a non-breaking space (U+00A0) rather than a normal space (U+0020).This has been the rule on French keyboards since.. but it's broken in Mail.app in Leopard (I never used Mal.app before TimeMachine and the fact that a big mail database is a Go hog in backups). Mail.app 3 inserts normal spaces instead of non breaking spaces and it's frustrating. In French you insert non-breaking spaces before '; : ? !' and » and after «. So you get punctuation marks at the beginning of lines and that's not very clean, to say the least.

In OS X, you can easily create new shortcuts.
Create a file called: ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict
using a plain text editor.
Add a line like:
'^`' = ('insertText:', '‑'); /* nbhy */
This means 'Control-` generates a command to insert a non-breaking hyphen character.
You can also insert a whole word, which is good for words or sequences of words you type often that are long like:
'^M' = ( 'insertText:', 'Massachusetts' );
'^N' = ( 'insertText:', 'New Hampshire' );
which means Control-M (not Control-m) inserts Massachusetts.
You can also use 2 character sequences, like
'^s' = {
'^c' = ('insertText:', '✔');
'^x' = ('insertText:', '✘'); /* X Symbol */
'^1' = ('insertText:', '¹'); /* superscript 1 */
'^2' = ('insertText:', '²'); /* superscript 2 */
'^3' = ('insertText:', '³'); /* superscript 3 */
};
Then Control-s followed by Control-c enters a check mark, etc.
Yes, this also be used for commands like:
'^a' = 'deleteToBeginningOfParagraph:';
which is similar to the built-in Control-k command (delete to end of paragraph and put it in the yank buffer).
Or to move the cursor right by 7 words:
'^UF703' = (
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:'
);
I get endless amusement out of this kind of thing.
