The <Shift>, <Ctrl>, <Alt> + <Space> keys are available to assign as Keyboard
shortcuts for the U+200A (HAIR SPACE), U+2009 (THIN SPACE), or U+2002 (EN
SPACE) so my +1 to shortcut assignment by default.  

Document canvas needs some indication when any of these reduced/expanded spaces
are present [1]. It would be appropriate that these codepoints be handled as
current set of NPC, so that toggling the paragraph marks will also show them.

Finally, would there be enough variation in "official" typography that this set
of spacing shortcuts need to be localized with a stanza added
i18npool/source/localedata/data/*.xml?
