I really dislike how so many editors bind the evaluation/compile/menu key to ctrl + space or ctrl + shift. On the default multilingual key setting on windows, it is especially annoying when you want to run the code but instead your typing language changes to chinese

I think that's more the fault of windows than anything else. I mean, why do I need a shortcut key for changing language? I'm going to do that so often I need a shortcut do I? Nope.

Always turned off for me.

For people in multilingual environments, that shortcut key is absolutely necessary.

Fair enough - that never occurred to me. I assume that there are a lot of people in that situation then? For it to be on by default?

It is a problem mainly in Asia and countries which has unique characters in their alphabet e.g. russia cyrllic, the baltic states, certain romance languages which requires a large amount of accents e.g. french

Try using an "exotic" layout for a while and you'll see how often you'll encounter applications that assume/require QWERTY.
