 DM> It'd helpful to know the actual character value being sent when you hit Ctrl-Space. If you go into the user terminal settings, where it prompt you to hit backspace/delete, if you hit Ctrl-Space, what character value does it report?

So it appears to be sending NUL 0x00.

In the terminal settings pressing Ctrl-Space for the "delete" character, yielded nothing.

I got hold of a key scanning tool for the MAC, and it reports this for CTRL Space:

Key Down
 Characters:
 Unicode:0 / 0x0
 Keys:^Space
 Key Code: 49 / 0x31
 Modifiers: 262401 / 0x40101

And for comparison, the delete key shows this.

Key Down
 Characters:
 Unicode:127 / 0x7f
 Keys:(backspace symbol)
 Key Code: 51 / 0x33
 Modifiers: 256 / 0x100

So maybe ignoring a NUL character would be sufficient?
