ctrl+space is the default hotkey to switch between input modes
on a multi-language desktop using uim/scim/skim etc.
On my machines it toggles between English and Japanese character
input. I think it would be unexpected to find yourself typing in a
different language as a result of trying to raise the gnuplot
console :-)

So in principle I am OK with simply choosing a different=20
"raise console" key sequence. But ctrl-<space> is not an option.
