vscode: Ctrl + Space not working

Type: Bug

Hello,

Default mapping Ctrl+I works to show autocompletion but Ctrl+Space doesn’t. I tried on VSCode to binding again to Ctrl+Space but it doesn’t get the combination. I put it back to default and it didn’t work either. Even on basic HTML, Ctrl+Space doesn’t work (again, Ctrl+I works without troubles).

I realized the issue was caused by the latest Power Toys version (v0.70.0). ctrl +space is bound by default to the new Peek widget.

Can confirm this too. Updated my PowerToys last night and found the Ctrl+Space shortcut suddenly not working in the morning. You can just turn it off or change the shortcut

I can confirm this issue appeared right after updating vs code. Disabling extensions doesn’t fix it.

Thanks! This was my case too. after uninstalling Power Toys ctrl +space is functioning in my vscode again

Hi!

If you want, you dont need to uninstall it. You can just disable the peek feature and it returns to work again.

I can confirm this, turning it off made the suggestions in vs code work again.

Just to register: updating PowerToys to 0.70.1 solves the problem without the need to disable Peek
