I mapped AltGr+Shift+Space to the thin non-breaking space, since it’s the objectively best thousands separator. It’s the norm in my country’s locale (Czech) and understood everywhere (and I know you understand the decimal frustrations as a multilingual typist). Unless it’s 4 digits or in ASCII-only contexts, in which case I don’t use any.
It’s at the XKB level (/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/cz_mod) so it works in all applications. And when would you be typing fancily on someone else’s Linux machine?
And easy on Linux
compose+---.But I’m the guy who types
CTRL+MAJ+u202fto have thin non-breaking spaces, so I’m not sure I’m representative.Why be representative when you can be exceptional? :)
I actually don’t even have compose bound to a key because I simply never have to type anything that’s not in the normal UTF-8 space on my PC lol
What is “the normal UTF-8 space”?
You would like unexpected keyboard for your phone then. It supports en–dashes, em—dashes and non-breaking spaces without needing a symbol layer.
Does it permit easily to switch dictionaries and layouts? I type regularly in three different languages on my phone, that’s why I use AnySoftKeyboard.
layouts is easy, but I’m afraid it does not support dictionaries, so that might be a dealbreaker for you

I could have done.that, but the Unicode code works almost everywhere, so I just learnt it.
