On my system, pressing Ctrl + Shift + Space doesn't enable Vi Mode.

BUT

If I keep the Space key pressed, after 1 second, Vi Mode will start flashing on and off.

System

OS: macOS
Version: alacritty 0.13.2 (bb8ea18)

I figured out that this is somehow caused by the system keyboard shortcut "Select next input method," which is mapped by default to Ctrl + Space.
