Turns out mine was working better than I thought! I thought it wasn't 
working because I was hitting ctrl-space and nothing was happening, but the 
same thing happened with yours, and so that got me to try putting in a 
couple characters before hitting ctrl-space, which worked both for yours 
and for mine. Thanks again so much for putting this up! It will be really 
helpful as I continue to tinker with this.
