'Change keyboard shortcut for Basic Code Completion in IntelliJ IDEA on Mac

There is very important shortcut for "Basic Code Completion" in IntelliJ IDE which assumed to be invoked as control+space shortcut on Mac. The problem is this shortcut is system one and used to invoke "Spotlight" in Mac OS X Lion.

How you guys invoke it then?

I think that the question is mostly asking to what key combination do you change it, and why JetBrains haven’t implemented the update to the Mac keymap by themselves.

Anyways, I’ve swapped the Ctrl+Space with Option+Space which doesn’t seem to collide with any Mac OS X system key shortcut.

You can override the OSX spotlight shortcut in IntelliJ IDEA/Services/Services Preferences. More info: here.

I dont know if this helps but here is a list of the default key mappings http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/docs/IntelliJIDEA_ReferenceCard_Mac.pdf and you can change them from the menu IDE Settings -> Keymap

Alternatively, you can use Ctrl + Shift + Space for "SmartType" to avoid collision with Spotlight.

Actually, spotlight is started by COMMAND-space and not by CTRL-space ...
