The space key should now behave as the Super/Windows/Mod4 key when held and combined with another key. The space key should now behave as the Super/Windows/Mod4 key when held and combined with another key.
**If your chording style does not agree with this method:**
You may find that your typing style makes it hard to hit the "chord timing" needed to trigger the Mod4 key.
There is an alternative plugin for interception-tools you can use which changes the behaviour of the tool. Feel free to play with the "delay" value in `/etc/interception/spacetomod4.yaml` to adjust it to your taste.
Install this alternative plugin for interception tools:
```
yay -S interception-dual-function-keys
```
Create a new file in /etc/interception (name it spacetomod4.yaml for example) with the following content:
```
TIMING:
TAP_MILLISEC: 200
DOUBLE_TAP_MILLISEC: 0
MAPPINGS:
- KEY: KEY_SPACE
TAP: KEY_SPACE
HOLD: KEY_LEFTMETA
```
Modify the /etc/interception/udevmon.yaml file to this instead:
```
- JOB: "intercept -g $DEVNODE | dual-function-keys -c /etc/interception/spacetomod4.yaml | uinput -d $DEVNODE"
DEVICE:
EVENTS:
EV_KEY: [KEY_SPACE, KEY_LEFTMETA]
```
And remember to restart the udevmon service:
```
sudo systemctl restart udevmon
```
