#\Control-\Space

I'm trying to compile http://lisp.ystok.ru/ygrid/ because I need a grid widget for my trading software.

I'm getting the error "Wrong character name: CONTROL-SPACE" on the following code

(defparameter *completion-gesture* #\Control-\Space)

My understanding is that it used to compile in LW 6.x.

What changed and is there a way to make it work?

    Thank you, Joel

Re: #\Control-\Space

It appears that one could specify CAPI gesture specs as #\Ctrl-Space and the like in early versions of Lispworks.

These can be specified as strings or coerced to gesture specs nowadays, e.g.

CL-USER 21 > (sys:print-pretty-gesture-spec (sys:coerce-to-gesture-spec "accelerator-ctrl-x") *debug-io*)
Ctrl-Accelerator-x
#S(SYSTEM::GESTURE-SPEC :DATA 120 :MODIFIERS 34)

C-SPC is usually bound to ASCII NUL. #\Nul perhaps?

Perhaps you are mixing gestures with characters?

(defparameter *completion-gesture* #\Control-\Space)

My understanding is that it used to compile in LW 6.x.

What changed and is there a way to make it work?
