Praise xev.

Nothing conclusive to see about "space" or "SPCE".

Leaves me clueless for now.

I guess Alt+Spacebar is about
interpret Alt_L+AnyOf(all) {
virtualModifier= Alt;
action= SetMods(modifiers=modMapMods,clearLocks);
};

I already wondered about "grey20".

We need to hand out sedating medication before sending people
into the X space. (There are already proposals in literature:

I assume a carreer starts at Scanner and peaks at Haberman of Keyboards.
So probably i was just lucky to stumble over a workaround
which was introduced in VT100 to rescue unprepared users
from the Pain of Space.
(I should have re-read Cordwainer Smith on the first hand.
It's all there between his lines. Now i will be cautious
not to meet the Manshonyagger.)
Have a nice day :)
