On a Mac CMD+spacebar pulls up Spotlight, so it does not work to zoom in ACR or PS 2020. Although the shortcut can be disabled in System Preferences on the Mac, that is not convenient since I loose that universal search option. Rather, there should be a way to edit the keyboard shortcut in PS 2020.
If I look up Default keyboard shortcuts where the command "Switch to Zoom In tool" is listed (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html), under View Images, I learned, "This partial list provides shortcuts that don’t appear in menu commands or tool tips."
Why can't it be included somewhere in Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts?
Interactive zoom is one of those shortcuts that are hard-coded, Adobe has not said whether they might change that.
Personally, I don’t see this as a problem, I took it as an oppportunity. I use Spotlight so much that I decided it would be better to open Spotlight with a single key instead of having to press two keys. I went into macOS System Preferences and changed the Spotlight shortcut:

Now I have single-tap access to Spotlight in all applications, and no more conflict with the Command-spacebar zoom shortcut used in many applications, Adobe and non-Adobe.
If you feel strongly that Adobe should allow access to keyboard shortcuts that can’t be changed currently, you can add a feature request in the Ideas section of this forum, where feature requests can be upvoted and discussed.

Hi Fastidious,
I have never changed by shortcuts for Cmd+Spacebar because it has always worked for me in as many versions as I can remember. I hold down Cmd+Spacebar and get both the Zoom tool and Spotlight as you can see in this screen shot.

Hit the space bar before you hit the CMD key.
