Thank you, Kovid, I didn't know this trick. The restriction is that :
— it doesn't work in the search/replace fields
— it doesn't work if typed after a hexanum char, ex (saying I want a narrow no break space):
- I go there2027 + alt-x → I go ther\uE2027
- 11202f + alt-x doesn't make any transformation (I wanted to type 11 111)
So one would have to insert this sequence : space, 202f, alt-x, left-arrow, bkspace, right-arrow.
… or to use the table of special chars ;-)
The ctrl-shift-u technique would solve those cases, being furthermore a widely known trick for linux' users.
Is it a Qt restriction ?
