Description

Information

zellij --version: 0.5.1

I tried to bind lockmode to Ctrl+space like this in the config file:

- action: [SwitchToMode: Locked,]
  key: [Ctrl: ' ',]

but it doesn’t work.

Is it a termion issue?

Research direction
Investigate how keybindings are parsed, particularly in the input handling module (likely `zellij utils/src/input.rs`). Determine if the issue is in the termion library or Zellij's key mapping. Review existing key parsing code for modifier keys. Look at the linked issue comments for clues. Consider testing a fix by adding a mapping for Ctrl+Space in the appropriate configuration parser.
