title: Use Alt-Space key combination on gVim
body: <p>I have problems using Alt-Space in gVim (v7.4) running on Linux  (Linux Mint, Cinnamon).</p>
  
  <p>Pressing Alt-Space will only show a Â character (0xC2) on the bottom line and it seems you have to press another key after to return to initial state.</p>
  
  <p>It is even stranger considering I'm able to use/remap Alt-Space correctly under Windows and, while on Linux, other applications are able too (by the way: I disabled the Desktop Environment default shortcut for Alt-Space, which opens the current Window menu, so the key combination is not prematurely intercepted).</p>
  
  <p>I have found this discussion which presents the same situation of mine, but no results. </p>

  <p>Do you have any idea how to solve this? </p>
  
  <p>PS simply remapping the character Â was not helpful.</p>
