No easy way to rebind "switch to the side pane" from <Ctrl><Space>

This keybinding is one of two exceptions that do not appear in the
accelerator list. Will look into fixing that. To make a quick hack edit
zim/gui/__init__.py and look for the method "do_preferences_changed" around
line 2450.

You can enable Alt-Space for the same action in the preferences - edift the
config file and enable "toggle_on_altspace".

Jaap

Thanks for that. I'm happy enough with alt+space, so I just changed the prefs.

I see now that you've removed this as default because of user conflicts, but I noted that alt+space is still listed as an appropriate shortcut here:
http://zim-wiki.org/manual/Help/Menu_Items.html

Also, it's not relevant to me directly, as I'm happy with alt+space, but I wasn't sure if you were referring to
  /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/zim/gui/__init__.py
or
  /usr/share/pyshared/zim/gui/__init__.py

Cheers.
