Why should textadept respond to it?
It is a global shortcut (configured in System Preferences >
Keyboard&Mouse > Keyboard Shortсuts) not a textadept shortcut. So I
think that OS itself should respond to it, not the application. BTW,
textadept receives cmd+space keypress event.

In Linux I use ctrl+shift to switch keyboard layouts, but Mac OS X
does not allow to assign this shortcut to input source switching.
