Question

This plugin adds a button for inserting nonbreaking space entities   at the current caret location (cursor insert point). It also adds a menu item Nonbreaking space under the Insert menu dropdown and a toolbar button.

Type: String

Example

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: "nonbreaking",
  menubar: "insert",
  toolbar: "nonbreaking"
});

Options

nonbreaking_force_tab

This option allows you to force TinyMCE to insert three   entities when the user presses the keyboard tab key.

It’s important to note that this does not change the behavior of the menu and toolbar controls, which will continue to insert a single &nbsp entity when nonbreaking_force_tab value is true.

However, the true condition does capture the tab key and contain it within the editable area, whereas when set to its default state of false a tab keypress will move the cursor to the next editable area (e.g. a browser url bar or form field on the current page).

Type: Boolean

Default Value: false

Possible Values: true, false

Example

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: "nonbreaking",
  menubar: "insert",
  toolbar: "nonbreaking",
  nonbreaking_force_tab: true
});

Usage with table plugin

When using the nonbreaking_force_tab setting together with the table plugin it will conflict with the tab navigation between table cells. You can choose which setting you want to use by changing the ordering of the plugins in the init object. If nonbreaking is before table in the plugins setting you will activate the insert   functionality, while if table is added before nonbreaking you will get tab table cell navigation. See examples:

This will activate the insert   setting:

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: "nonbreaking table",
  nonbreaking_force_tab: true
});

This will activate the tab table cell navigation:

tinymce.init({
  selector: "textarea",  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: "table nonbreaking",
  nonbreaking_force_tab: true
});
