Remove NBSP for ALT + SPACE

By default alt + space in OS X would result in a no breaking space. This results in all kinds of weird behaviours when writing code. The best solution is to override alt + space and instead return a normal space.

mkdir -p ~/Library/KeyBindings

Create file

pico ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict

Paste the following

{ "~ " = (insertText:, " ");

Save and exit.
