Basic code completion in IntelliJ on Mac

There is very important shortcut for Basic Code Completion in IntelliJ IDE which assumed to be invoked as ctrl+space shortcut on Mac. The problem is this shortcut is system one and used to invoke "Spotlight" in Lion Mac OS. How you guys invoke it then?

I think that the question is motley asking to what key combination do you change it, and why JetBrains haven’t implemented the update to the mac keymap by themselves.

Anyways, I’ve swapped the Ctrl+Space with Alt+Space which doesn’t seem to collide with any MacOSX system key shortcut.
