Hi @Kjens93 I had this problem in catalina as well and stumbled on a reddit post for a fix but can't find it right now.

The issue is that the "change input source" keyboard shortcut is getting enabled and it is bound to Ctrl+Space

To disable it:

1. Go to system preferences -> keyboard -> input sources
2. add a new input source (I did english ABC)
3. Go to shortcuts tab (inside of keyboard settings)
4. Click on input sources on the left
5. disable the "select previous input source" shortcut

You might have to restart vs code/your computer to get it to take effect. I think you can also delete the input source you create in step 2.
