2 weeks ago I've actually been thinking about this recently, and I'm pretty sure I can implement it - the problem is finding free time right now.
This is how I see it in my head, let me know if it sounds right to you:
- Tie into the existing toolbar functionality (priority)
- Create a "spacer" toolbar item
- Essentially a noop or placeholder, does nothing
- Transparent/empty icon
- Add a handful of these
- Existing style means we would probably create separate items, rather than one single item which can be placed multiple times?
Spacer 1,Spacer 2, etc- Might be able to work around this
- User can enable and reorder these as normal from the toolbar customization menu
It would also give the benefit of avoiding accidental presses (if you tend to hit one of your toolbar keys on a regular basis while typing). Just relocate a key from an awkward position to a better one.
To me, that seems like the way to handle it. The alternative is scrapping a bunch of existing code and doing a full rewrite of how the toolbar works as a whole - not ideal, nor do I think anyone wants to do that. I certainly wouldn't.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If you want symbols on the right side, you currently have to fill the whole bar with symbols. Same for pinned symbols but left side.
Describe the solution you'd like
A "space" and "variable space" symbol, similiar to Firefox' symbol bar would probably be the easist and most flexible solution.
Use case
One-handed use.
Describe alternatives you've considered (if any)
There's a setting for "variable symbolbar directionality" (roughly translated from german). Adding an overwrite toggle for left/right hand mode.
But it's less flexible.
Btw, symbols flow left, pinned symbols right, is that on purpose?
And ability to change bar height would be nice.
