Deprecation: #99454 - Restore visibility for soft hyphens and non-breaking spaces¶

Description¶

Non-breaking spaces and soft hyphens are now visible in the rich-text editor to help the editor to identify them visually.

Keyboard shortcuts are now working for non-breaking spaces and soft hyphens and use more common defaults:

ctrl + shift + space for non-breaking space
ctrl + shift + dash for soft hyphen

The SoftHyphen plugin for the CKEditor is now deprecated and replaced with a new whitespace plugin that handles non-breaking spaces and soft hyphens. Loading the SoftHyphen will trigger a console warning.

Impact¶

Including the SoftHyphen plugin will trigger a deprecation warning.

Affected installations¶

All installations that include the SoftHyphen plugin manually.

Replace the module to resolve the deprecation.
