C-space typically sends C-@ on most terminals.

If you're looking for to not surprise first-time sysadmins in desperate
straits, which is really the only type of person who would be using ae,
then I suggest binding
C-z (Mac and Windows users),
C-/ and C-_ (emacs users), and
C-u (Vi users).

I would suggest guaranteeing that both C-h and C-? are _always_ delete
backwards. Otherwise some sysadmin is going to be cursing you somewhere when
they're desperately trying to edit their /etc/fstab and can't delete without
bringing up the help screen.
Incidentally, Esc h seems nicer to me than C-x h for help, but whatever.
If you're looking for emacs users to be able to survive you'll need a bunch
more bindings though. C-d, M-d, C-n, C-p, C-b, C-f, for example.
