Is Control+Space bound by default?

[Nickolay Kolev]

Is Control+Space bound to some action in iTerm by default? I cannot see it in the "Global Shortcut Keys" list in the preferences.

Background: I bound this shortcut in .vimrc and it works in MacVim, but not in vim when running inside iTerm.

Best,

Yes, by default it sends ASCII code 0.  You can verify this by running cat and pressing control-space. It should print ^@, which signifies the nul character. Not sure why vim would have a problem with this, though.

Indeed, it does.

It seems like the character is getting to vim (in insert mode press
Ctrl-v and then Ctrl-space). Not sure why I cannot map it in normal
mode though.

Any terminal vim users out there have and idea?
