  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: yes

Issue

With #1509's children merged, I would expect to see Ctrl-space captured by hyper, but emacs doesn't set the mark when I type Ctrl-space. I've verified that emacs has the binding.

I set another binding that I can use, but this is the default binding for set-mark-command, and it doesn't work for me.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the merged changes from #1509 and reproduce the Ctrl-Space behavior described in this issue on Windows 10. Trace how Hyper handles that key combination and verify the result by checking whether Emacs receives Ctrl-Space and sets the mark without a custom binding.
