Space (and pipe sign) works on occasion only
- by Timo Riikonen
I have an issue that when I try to write pipe sign "|" and space after that, I sometimes get wrong type of space (\240) and my command fails.
This issue persists on different shells.
How could I fix this?
I am using Finnish keyboard layout.
