MacOS (emacsformacosx) c-spc, does not run set-mark-command

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Does anybody know how to achieve the traditional binding of 
C-space to set-mark-command on MacOS (for emacsformacos)?

Shift arrow down works, but will not work for a lot of features in org
mode.

Thanks

I use the alternate arrangement i.e. ‘C-@’. This requires pressing three
keys - Control, Shift and [2/@] on my keyboard.

C-space is used by the OS for some other things. You should be able to
disable that in preferences and use it in Emacs.

I think the mapping is intercepted by MacOS to start the Spotlight
search.  Open Preferences, got to Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Spotlight and
disable the keyboard shortcut.

I don't understand your question.  C-SPC should work out of the box I 
think, at least it does here.  The M-SPC (just-one-space) does not with 
default settings, because M-SPC is used for Spotlight search, but you can 
deactive this easily in the preferences if you want.

The point is (at least in 10.15), if you use more than one keyboard, as
I do (US, US-international, Spanish and Hebrew), then mac os binds C-SPC
to switch keyboard layout without telling me.

So I just deactivated this keybinding in reference and now everything is
as expected.
