I believe this has to do with the keyboard he uses, I have seen lots
of users complaining about this, but this really is a problem of their
keyboard, if you are on linux and mac, SHIFT+Space is ZWNJ but
microsoft windows Arabic and Farsi Keyboard
is not a standard Arabic and Farsi keyboard, and we always encourage
people to use a standard keyborad that Farsi-Web people have provided
in which SHIFT+B is ZWNJ.


Probably there should be a standard Arabic keyboard as well.
