QScintilla has no default key binding for ctrl+space, so it will output 
whatever text (if any) is associated with that key combination - which 
on your platform happens to be the control character NUL.

to associate a different behaviour with that key combination, you could 
simply create a QShortcut for it and connect it to an appropriate signal 
handler.

to invoke auto-completion, use one of QScintilla's autoCompleteFrom* 
methods.
