(Seemingly) unable to bind the space key in keybindings?

Question

Hi, i am trying to set a bind to quick exit vi_normal mode that uses the space key as the keycode: option, but it never seems to work.

modifier: control
keycode: char_<CHAR: U+0020> 
mode: vi_normal
event: {
    # not actually the event i want to send, i was just using it to test things
    send: ClearScreen 
}

Things that did not cause an error but didnt work anyway:

keycode: char_<CHAR: U+0020>
keycode: CHAR: U+0020

I'm just quite confused on how to set space as a keycode binding, especially because of the attemps that did not cause an error, but did not function

I don't believe space is a valid keycode in crossterm 0.24. Also char_ currently only works with a-z and not characters specified like U+0020, although, theoretically, someone may be able to add that since KeyCode::Char takes a rust char.

Crossterm 0.25 adds quite a bit to keycodes so maybe if we can land the reedline PR bumping it we can do more things, but I'm not positive at this point.

The limitation was just on our parser to translate to the proper keys. Added a "space".
