Normal and half spacebar

+ +

This keyboard has two spacebars: the normal spacebar +     on the very bottom row of the +keyboard, and the half spacebar   , on the +second-to-bottom row. The half spacebar is not only half the size of a normal +spacebar on the keyboard, but it also inserts a thinner space.

+ +

When do I use the half spacebar?

+ +

When you want to separate components within a + word.

+ +

If you are familiar with Cree standard Roman orthography (SRO), you use a +half space    whenever you'd use a dash in SRO. For +example, in ê-itwêt, you would write it in +syllabics on this keyboard by typing ᐁ    ᐃ ᐟ ᐤ +ᑘ ᐟ (ᐁ ᐃᑘᐟ).

+ +

Other examples are complex words like +ᓂᓇᓅᐦᑌ ᓂᐹᐣ. This is one +word, but you can see it has two: the beginning, +ᓂᓇᓅᐦᑌ (eng. “I always want to...”) +and the core part of the word, +ᓂᐹᐣ (eng. “sleep”). +Use the half space    between the two +parts of the word to insert a small gap between the two parts. The small +gap is noticable, but not as large as a normal space, which would indicate +a new word.

+ +

Unlike the normal space, the half space is not a +word-breaker. This means that, when apps see a half-space in a +word, they will treat it and its surrounding syllabics as one whole word, +rather than breaking it apart and treating it as several smaller words.
