    Question CTRL+Spacebar not working to select entire column?

    When I press CTRL+SPACEBAR, it does not select the entire column as it's supposed to.

    I found some info online that said it may have something to do with the Chinese language in my language bar. My language is set to EN, but when I click CTRL+SPACEBAR, it changes the language to Chinese.

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you in advance!

    Right click the language bar, choose Settings, and have a look at the Advanced Key settings.

    I tried that, and I changed the Switch Input Language and Switch Keyboard Layout both to Not Assigned then applied the changes, but it still seems to happen.

    Which OS version?

    Have you tried removing Chinese from the installed languages?

    ctrl+space was used on my computer to change between Chinese and English. By disabling this function in the language setting, this shortcut now works. Thanks

    My issue occurred after installing Microsoft's "Power Toys"... You need to remap the shortcut for the "Peek" feature.
