   I think this is another case of a key binding that can't work on non-Windows.

   On Linux, showkey -a shows that Ctrl+Space is 0 - the nul character, which actually maps to other characters, e.g. Ctrl+2.

   It's possible to make Ctrl+Space work by remapping it in iTerm to a character you don't normally use (e.g. ç aka Alt+C) or any code point from the Unicode Private Use Area (e.g.  aka E000).

   Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key '' -Function MenuComplete

   Given this is by design, I will close this issue.

   For future usages - you can also rebind the powershell function

   Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Chord 'Ctrl+@' -Function MenuComplete
   

   since Ctrl+Space produces output equivalent to Ctrl+@
