Space (JaredLevi) Mac OS
Is your Mac up to date with the latest version of the Mac operating system? Is it using the version required by a product that you want to use with your Mac? Which versions are earlier (older) or later (newer, more recent)? To find out, learn which version is installed now.
DaisyDisk, GrandPerspective, and Disk Inventory X are probably your best bets out of the 10 options considered. 'Helps find and delete files taking up HDD space' is the primary reason people pick DaisyDisk over the competition. This page is powered by a knowledgeable community that helps you make an informed decision. Outlook for Mac is a disk space hog but the macOS has a way to recover some of that. Mac computers can have relatively small hard drives like 128GB or 265GB which Outlook 2016 for Mac can gobble up. Unfortunately, Outlook for Mac, even the latest Outlook 2016 doesn’t have some of the space saving options available to Office for Windows.
If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.
Which macOS version is installed?
From the Apple menu in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.
Which macOS version is the latest?
These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.
If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.

That's been around as long as I can remember, I think in the pre-OS X days as well. I can only test it in Classic right now, but yes, it works there.
Yes, it was already there before Mac OS X, and with international keyboard layouts as well.
I'm not sure how far back this goes, …
It goes back to System 1.0.
In MS-Word (only) it is CMD-SHIFT-<hyphen> to create a non-breaking hyphen.
Non breaking hyphen us unicode u2011 - I'm not sure if it has a normal keyboard way of entering it, but if you choose the 'Unicode Hex Input' input method, you can do opt+2011 to enter it.
A bit clumsy though.

Woah. I am surprised this isn't in here yet. This has definitely been around since the classic days, maybe even System 1.0 as another commenter suggests.
Option-Space also sometimes lets you type a space character when the spacebar would otherwise do something else, such as selecting the first item in a folder instead of activating Quicklook in the Leopard Finder (I think this hint was posted here). Ditto for selecting playlists in iTunes instead of play/pausing (I don't know if that has been hinted. Fair game if it hasn't).
I'm not sure how far back this goes, but on Leopard at least, pressing Option-Space on the US or US Extended keyboard layouts inserts a non-breaking space (U+00A0) rather than a normal space (U+0020).This has been the rule on French keyboards since... but it's broken in Mail.app in Leopard (I never used Mal.app before TimeMachine and the fact that a big mail database is a Go hog in backups). Mail.app 3 inserts normal spaces instead of non breaking spaces and it's frustrating. In French you insert non-breaking spaces before '; : ? !' and » and after «. So you get punctuation marks at the beginning of lines and that's not very clean, to say the least.

In OS X, you can easily create new shortcuts.
Create a file called: ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict
using a plain text editor.
Add a line like:
'^`' = ('insertText:', '‑'); /* nbhy */
This means 'Control-` generates a command to insert a non-breaking hyphen character.
You can also insert a whole word, which is good for words or sequences of words you type often that are long like:
'^M' = ( 'insertText:', 'Massachusetts' );
'^N' = ( 'insertText:', 'New Hampshire' );
which means Control-M (not Control-m) inserts Massachusetts.
You can also use 2 character sequences, like
'^s' = {
'^c' = ('insertText:', '✔');
'^x' = ('insertText:', '✘'); /* X Symbol */
'^1' = ('insertText:', '¹'); /* superscript 1 */
'^2' = ('insertText:', '²'); /* superscript 2 */
'^3' = ('insertText:', '³'); /* superscript 3 */
};
Then Control-s followed by Control-c enters a check mark, etc.
Yes, this also be used for commands like:
'^a' = 'deleteToBeginningOfParagraph:';
which is similar to the built-in Control-k command (delete to end of paragraph and put it in the yank buffer).
Or to move the cursor right by 7 words:
'^UF703' = (
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:'
);
I get endless amusement out of this kind of thing.
