Remap Ctrl+space

[CptPotato]

I'm trying to remap Ctrl space to open the completion popup, like this:

[keys.insert]
C-space = "completion"

However, this doesn't seem to work. Am I missing anything or is this keybind not possible?

I just gave that keybind a try and it works for me in Kitty on Linux. Maybe your terminal emulator is eating the keypress?

It doesn't seem like it. I tried in wezterm, cmd and powershell so far and it works in neither of them. I'll check what key input crossterm reports.

Okay, so I checked crossterm's event-read example. Looks like at least wezterm is messing up the input; ctrl + space gets read as:

Event: Key(KeyEvent { code: Char('2'), modifiers: SHIFT | CONTROL })

On cmd and powershell, however, it looks like I'm getting the correct one (even though it doesn't work either 😕):

Event: Key(KeyEvent { code: Char(' '), modifiers: CONTROL })

[the-mikedavis]

I get the same on Kitty:

Event: Key(KeyEvent { code: Char(' '), modifiers: CONTROL })

It looks correct for cmd and powershell. You might want to try binding to something more consistent like insert_newline for testing. It might be that auto-complete isn't returning any results depending on the position in the document.

Thanks for confirming that it's the correct input event. I'll see if I can get it to work.
