Disable non-breaking space

Problem:

$ echo test | less
zsh: command not found:  less

Turns out: I often type the non-breaking space instead of a regular one. This happens because option+space writes a non-breaking space. Option is used in this case for writing |, so i release the option key too slow.

Solution:

$ mkdir -p ~/Library/KeyBindings/
$ cat ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict
{
"~ " = ("insertText:", " ");
}

Afterwards, a restart of the affected application is necessary.
