Hi,
In the kicad-source files, is there a way to modify the Value of the “Name” field in the symbol properties that allows for spaces? For example, if I want to name the symbol “component one”, eeschema automatically ignores white spaces and assigns the name as “componentone”. However, I need the name to stay as two words.
Thank you!
Isn’t ALT+103 (numpad) one of those invisble characters? You could give that a go.
I generally suggest the use of underline “_” to replace spaces. (limit yourself to the core ascii chars for asset names. This will reduce the chance that anything goes wrong. It also makes it easier to search for assets)

ALT+103 is “g”
Underscore is the safe way to avoid the space issue. In the UNIX world spaces signify a separate file.
I was thinking more when editing the source files directly, is there a way to override the automatic removal of white spaces for the Value/Name field?
