Description
it's annoying because Ctrl+Space calls manual code completition (which is often used) and when it takes too long I often move forward (right) direction to skip selection, but than there's a catch, it switches actually edited file to read-only (which takes some time too) and I've to switch it back..It would be nice if the shortcut would be dropped or at least changed to less common combination..

NOTE: i changed the source code and it didn't occured again so I saved then returned it to state when error occured and it happened again it seems it has some dependency on source content (or to be displayed completion)
Steps to Reproduce:
1) check if edited file isn't read-only (via context-menu)
2) press Ctrl+Space+Arrow (left,right,up,down)
3) notice (again via context-menu) that read-only flag of file switched on (pressing it again switches flag back)
4) file is not writable (ofcourse) and sometimes it casts confusion (and even closing and opening IDE for users not familiar with this key-combination)

we're talking about DEFAULT keymapping here
Workarounds
it functions like a switch so press a combination again

well, I try it all the way but after all it seemed like a case of stucked keyboard (I don't know which key) :))

In my case its some other combination.  First it keeps switching to readonly mode.  And I have to go and uncheck the readonly property.  Then sometimes, it disables the readonly menu - so it cant be changed.

Please lose the dratted shortcut - it is not required.  Or allow us to override the shortcuts.
