Combinations such as “Mr. So-and-so”, “Dr. Who”, “§ 120”, “$ 120,000”, “26 %” and so on should stick together. You wouldn’t want for instance the $ sign to appear right at the end of the line and then have the $ amount starting on the next line, instead you want both to appear next to each other and in case of lack of space to move together to the next line. This “sticking together” is achieved by using the keyboard shortcut Shift + Ctrl + Space between the two elements instead of a simple Space (menu
Insert › Formatting mark › Non-breaking space).
