We want to always consume the alt+space since this is now a default keybinding (so if the host did not deal with it, it means it was explcitly unbound and we still don't want system XAML to get it)

Just update the schema and the docs and we're good.

Also, just wanna double check, if you unbind alt+space, it gets sent straight to the terminal right? The system menu doesn't pop up?

thanks for the reminder, done!

Yep! The menu doesn't pop up and the terminal gets the alt+space (so the end result is it looks like you just typed space)
