Description

A small Anki add-on that removes HTML non-breaking spaces ( ) and replaces them with normal spaces.

Demonstration showing removing nbsp from Anki card

Features

Cleans newly added notes automatically by hooking into Add Cards and replacing   with a regular space in every field after a note is added.
Adds a collection-wide purge command at Tools -> nbsp Remover -> Purge collection from   that runs Anki's background find/replace across all notes.
Supports optional startup purge to run the collection-wide cleanup automatically when Anki starts.
Supports a configurable keyboard shortcut for manual purge (default: Ctrl+Alt+P).
Supports optional tooltips that show confirmation/status after cleanup actions.

Menu Entries

After Anki starts, this add-on creates:

Tools -> nbsp Remover -> Purge collection from  
Tools -> nbsp Remover -> Options

It also registers the add-on config action so Options can be opened from Anki's add-on config entry point.

Notes

Replacement target is the exact text  .
Replacement value is a normal space (_).
Purge runs in the background using Anki operations.
