bindkey with Ctrl+Space doesn't work anymore

[timofurrer]

I just reinstalled zsh-autosuggestions from the new repository and since then my key binding for autosuggest-accept doesn't work anymore.

I overwrite my settings in the file $ZSH_CUSTOM/autosuggestion-settings.zsh with the following statement:

bindkey '^ ' autosuggest-accept

The file is definitely sourced.
I use the newest version, which is v0.2.17 at the moment.
Other keys like / work like a charm.

Does anyone have the some issue?

What is the output of bindkey '^ ' and echo $widgets[autosuggest-accept]?

Does the binding work if you source zsh-autosuggestions without the rest of your config?

% zsh -f
%% source ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh
%% bindkey '^ ' autosuggest-accept

Also, what other oh my zsh plugins do you have enabled? Does the binding work when you disable all other plugins?

[timofurrer]

Output of bindkey '^ ':

"^@" autosuggest-accept

Output of echo $widgets[autosuggest-accept]:

user:_zsh_autosuggest_widget_accept

It doesn't work either when use zsh -f and source and bind manually.

My other plugins:

plugins=(git git-extras python common-aliases command-not-found zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions)

Disabling the other plugins doesn't help.

I just took a default .zshrc and added my stuff and uploaded it to this gist: https://gist.github.com/timofurrer/9b59786b16c1c985c54f

EDIT: btw. my zsh version is zsh 5.0.5. I've got another machine with a nearly identical zsh configuration (oh-my-zsh is not up to date there) but the zsh version is: zsh 5.1.1 and it works fine.
Do you know about known problems with older zsh versions?

EDIT 2:

Two of the unit tests also fail but I'm not sure if this is related, because the testWidgetAccept was running successfully...

What do you get if you press in your terminal: ctrl+v and then ctrl+space?

What terminal and OS are you running?

Can you successfully bind '^ ' to any other widgets?

I don't think those test failures are related, but I've fixed them in another branch. I'll go ahead and pull those over and make a new 0.2.x release.

Nothing happens when I press this combination either.

It's an ubuntu 14.04 with konsole.

It doesn't work to bind '^ ' to any other widgets ...

This leads me to believe that this isn't actually a problem with this plugin, but instead has something to do with your environment. So I'm going to go ahead and close this issue.

Can you try binding a different key combination to autosuggest-accept and verify that it does work?

As for why ctrl+space isn't working for you, that gets outside of my knowledge, but this might put you on the right track: https://www.google.com/search?q=bindkey+ctrl+space+ubuntu+konsole
