set mark command doesn't work on MacOS #8

I've got ctrl + space mapped to set mark command and this works on Windows. Bu it doesn't work on MacOS -- doesn't set a mark. Is that expected?

Thank you for report. Unfortunately, I have no macOS device to test.

Can you check if command Set mark command itself works? Please, try to call it via Command Palette.

The Set mark command by itself, from the command palette, doesn't do anything. There's no highlighting when I move the cursor away from the place where I marked, and if I try to copy or delete what should have been marked, nothing is copied or deleted. But the Set mark command does work on Windows.

I thought it might have something to do with Obsidian's Windows <--> MacOS Hotkey mapping weirdness, but it also doesn't work if I move the cursor away from the mark using the arrows keys, instead of emacs keys.

It looks strange. The plugin uses the provided by Obsidian API for selection. I also can't find a description of similar defects in Obsidian.

@mlwelles, can you check on macOS selection of text, please?
