The default vim binding of C-Space is to insert the last inserted
text and exit insert mode, this doesn't happen in neovim.

This is because insert_handle_key() checks for NUL instead
of checking for ' ' with a control mod_mask.
This patch adds in a check for that.

I'm leaving the check for NUL there despite the fact that
at the moment that key is never seen when using the
terminal UI (not for C-Space, nor C-@).
This is because I assume it's still allowed for other
front-ends to pass NUL, but at the moment the terminal UI
isn't.

I also suspect that the terminal UI not passing NUL when C-@ is pressed is a bug that will be fixed in the future.

Default Vim behavior of i_CTRL-<Space> is to insert the last-inserted
text and exit insert mode. :help i_CTRL-@

Before this commit that did not happen because insert_handle_key()
checks for NUL instead of checking for ' ' with a CTRL `mod_mask`.

I'm leaving the check for NUL despite the fact that at the moment that
key is never seen when using the terminal UI (not for C-Space, nor C-@).
This is because I assume it's still allowed for other front-ends to pass
NUL, but at the moment the terminal UI isn't.

It seems that after this PR i'm no longer able to override the C-@ mapping. I'm using it for deoplete manual completion

inoremap <expr><C-@> deoplete#mappings#manual_complete()

Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

C-@ is the same as C-Space.

inoremap <expr><C-Space> deoplete#mappings#manual_complete()

Though maybe @hardenedapple can comment.

It's strange, because inoremap C-Space works. But inoremap C-@ leaves insert mode.

I understand the behaviour, but I don't know why it's only happening after this change, can you check with the commit just before it?

For me, if I check the mappings

inoremap <expr><C-Space> 'hello there'

and

inoremap <expr><C-@> 'hello there'

with nvim -u NONE both before and after this change the <C-Space> mapping works and the <C-@> mapping doesn't.

Mapping <C-@> means that neovim looks for a C-@ character (i.e. NUL), but when pressing Control-Space the terminal UI for neovim sends a space character with the control modifier set (i.e. it sends <C-Space>).

In terminal vim, pressing Control-Space meant a C-@ is processed.

That was my understanding as well. see #5960 (comment) which explains that the observed change in behavior may correspond to a libvterm upgrade.

Ok my bad, it's not this PR, i tested with 28a6d43 and i'm unable to map C-@ there aswell. So i guess it's because of the libvterm upgrade.

It's not really a problem aslong as C-Space works.
