Open the shortcuts configuration dialog and try to assign another shortcut to 
the entry containing the space key right now. However, clear should work and 
unbind any shortcut for the given entry. Did you press the OK button of the 
dialog? If all this fails you may open the eric config file (for eric4 it is 
~/.config/Eric4/eric4.ini) and delete the faulty keyboard shortcut. Another 
alternative would be to load the default shortcuts file (default.e4k).
