There's a solution to that: flexible entities. Example in German:

	mit dem &LnMt;

The "n" stands for "linke*n* Maus Taste".

In French we don't have flexible cases, and we would like to keep the check 
of the number of entities. Otherwise the simple solution would be to go to 
kbabel's settings and disable the accelerators check and I would have asked 
Matthias if we could process &nbsp; separately.
