All the docs keep referring to ⌃Space to launch intellisense so as to get suggestions for config files, launch configs etc. As I understand from this chart that translates to the key combination control-space.
However on mac 10.11 ⌃Space only opens OSX Spotlight. How do I trigger vscode intelisense from the keyboard on a mac?

Pressing Tab or Enter will insert the selected member. You can trigger IntelliSense in any editor window by typing Ctrl+Space or by typing a trigger character (such as the dot character (.)
You can invoke Complete Word by choosing Edit > IntelliSense > Complete Word, by pressing Ctrl+Space, or by choosing the Complete Word button on the editor toolbar.
The feature invoked by ctrl-k is called “Check Names.” On a Mac the equivalent keyboard shortcut is the relatively awkward Control-⌘-C.
I am using vs code on Mac and I am a CJK user. Ctrl+Space is a shortcut for switching IMEs on my Mac.
If you open the keyboard shortcut pane (just press Command + K, then followed by Command+S), then search for trigger suggest, you will find that there are actually two shortcuts for this function:
So in case Ctrl + Space is taken by other programs. You can use Option + Esc to trigger suggestions. If you are using a Windows keyboard, Option key is Alt. You can also change the keybindings for this command as suggested by @Atilla Baspinar.
