The Ctrl+Space trick loads the other highlighter key mappings, but it doesn't load my key mapping to execute the Perl compiler to run a syntax check (F8 on my system).
If I click the word "Perl" in the status bar to bring up the Change Syntax window and then close it without changing anything, then F8 works to run the Perl compiler according to my custom key mappings. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,75153,76468> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
