Hi Samantha,
I could imagine that something like
setNoSpace().between().(var_keyword, myHiddenScriptRule) works.

Hi Samantha,
sounds like you shouldn't use the hidden channel for your scriptlets.
Furthermore if ws has semantics (as in your case), you propably should
make that explicit in your grammar. Did you try to make your scriptlets
part of a valid identifier:
ValidID hidden():
(ID | Scriptlet)+;
This way you would have the chance to use the value converter to keep
any spaces you want.
Regards,
Sebastian
