Add warning about `C-space` on Mac

Open KevinDCarlson opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Modern OS X seems to reserve C-space for toggling keyboard encodings. The VS Code plugin suggests C-c C-r as usually a reasonable replacement for C-c C-space, so I've suggested adding the same tip. I don't know enough about C-c C-r to know whether this is dangerous advice or needs more expansion, or whether it's worth trying to understand how to override the system's control of C-space entirely.

Yes, that seems fine. I’m confused about who exactly this affects as one reading of this post is that it ought to affect everyone. Possibly that was briefly true and now it only affects people with multiple keyboards enabled. In fact given that it doesn’t affect all Macs maybe this is fine to just let people Google. https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/s/PhcqVbBc2f

I think emacs overrides this - I've never had issues with C-space on Aquamacs. So it might be only VSCode that has this issue.

I've not had this issue with VSCode.
