I can type a half-space on Microsoft Word using Ctrl + Minus_Key. But I don't know why it is not working on Microsoft OneNote! How can I type this character on Microsoft OneNote?
Note: I'm writing in Persian language. In Persian we use half-space to prevent attaching morphemes together.
I got my answer! If we use Persian Standard Keyboard (FAS), we can type half-space with shift + space. We can't use Default Persian Keyboard (FA) to write half-space in OneNote. FAS already exists on Microsoft Windows 8 or greater. You can install this keyboard from this link for previous versions of Microsoft Windows.
For those who are not into Persian Standard Keyboard (FAS) due to it's unexpected keys swapping and also the Ctrl+Shift+2 sounds odd to them (like me!), AutoHotkey is a life saver.
%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder via windows explorer1.Edit the file via right clicking on and add the following line in it:2 ref
+Space::Send {ASC 0157}
Save & run the script.
1 This makes the script run on every windows startup
2 As in FAS keyboard (Shift+Space), Otherwise it could be whatever you want.
Update: a complete script based on current keyboard layout could be found as a specific repo on Github.
Note sure what version of OneNote you are using. Oops! missed tags sorry.
If you are using MS OneNote 2010 here list of shortcut keys at link below. http://www.shortcutworld.com/en/win/onenote_2010.html
For MS OneNote 2013 try the link below.
Hope this helps.

Typing Ctrl + – (Ctrl and hyphen) inserts an optional hyphen. In this example each word has an optional hyphen after the letter ‘c’ so it only appears when the word needs to be split at the end of a line.

If this is what you're looking to do, at the present time I do not see a solution for this in MS OneNote 2010 or 2013. There is the possibility of an add-on that might be capable of accomplishing this. Another option is to go to the Onetastic website and request a new feature or macro. Omer Atay has done a great job in helping the OneNote community.
If I come across anything I will let you know. Good luck with your endeavors.
You can easily type half-space using Ctrl + Shift + 2 in Microsoft office, when you are using Persian (Farsi) keyboard.
