Ctrl-Space not activating Alternative Part widget in preview view (v0.14)

[dnebauer]

In version 0.14 Ctrl-Space no longer activates the Alternative part widget when previewing in Edit Mode. The Enter key, which in other modes activates the widget, in Edit Mode opens the message for (re-)editing.

Ctrl-Space worked fine for activating the widget in Edit Mode back in 0.11.1 -- see, for example, this comment and following comments.

For some reason some Ctrl-keybindings do not work in hte ThreadView when in EditMode. If you change it to a simpler key, like just 'o' it starts working again.

I can't locate the default keybinding for Ctrl-Space in the output of devel/get_keys.py. What is the target for activating the Alternative part when it has focus?

thread_view.activate=Enter
thread_view.activate=o

note that o is already used to open search, so its not a good default choice.
