How to change key to 'accept' intellisense 'offer' for VB.Net in Visual Studio 2015 (update 3)

Question

When I'm coding in VB.Net in VS2015 I would like to use CTRL+SPACE to select Intellisense proposal when coding. Currently I have to use SHIFT+SPACE and I see no way to change it.

In the preceeding example screenshot it is visible that I have 3 potential options to autocomplete. I can select any of them with key up/down but in order to select the proposal I have following options:

• Press 'SHIFT+SPACE' - this will accept the proposal and position the carret right after the word enabling me to press '(' or whatever else I want
• Press 'SPACE' - this will accept the proposal but it will also add a white space at the end which is ok for properties/fields but not good for methods
• Press '(' - this will accept the proposal but it will also add a '(' character at thend which is ok for functions/sub but not good for properies/fields
• Press 'CTRL+SPACE' - this actually does not do anything :(, CTRL on its own makes the Intellisense menu gray-out

In the key configuration window I found the Edit.CompleteWord command:

However this command already has CTRL+SPACE assigned it but it simply does not work. In addition SHIFT+SPACE is not mentioned as one of the keybindings.

Note: VS2015 does have a flag 'Toggle Completion Mode' but I actually see no difference if this option is checked or not.

you can Use Tab and this will accept the proposal and position the current right after Tab Use space it well show You next Complete Word .
