Issues with spacebar as bindkey

Hello

I am trying to apply the following bindkey

hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>space" "mouseApplyOrFinishPoint()")
hiSetBindKey("Layout" "<Key>space EF" "")

This works wonderfully until I create a wire......the spacebar bindkey is overwritten to add via and no longer works as "mouseApplyOrFinishPoint()" in other commands.

I am using IC6.1.7-64b.500.22

Thanks for any insight.
