Modifying the [spacebar] section doesn’t generate the right .keylayout

[robinmoussu]

I took ergol.toml, modified the name8 to "modified-spacebar", and the [spacebar] section to have easy to search symbols names.

  [spacebar]
  shift       = "\u9991"
  altgr       = "\u9992"
  altgr_shift = "\u9993"
  1dk         = "\u9994"
  1dk_shift   = "\u9995"

In the output of kalamine build double_identifier.toml:

• dist/modify-spacebar.xkb correctly contains the following output:

     // Space bar
    key <SPCE> {[ space           , U9991           , U9994           , U9994           ],[ U9992           , U9993           ]}; //   馑 馔 馔 馒 馓

• however dist/modify-spacebar.keylayout doesn’t have any modification passed on.

I assume the code just take default hardcoded values instead of the user-specified one. I am not sure which symbols would have been the best to to this test. Apparently 999x is in the Chinese plane! I am not sure if after the fix kalamine will display the hex value of the kenji. The part of the output that must be modified are the one after each <!-- Space bar -->, and the last 3 actions blocks.

(btw it’s not possible to remap the spacebar, we don’t have a alpha = "…" entry in the [spacebar] section, but who would want that !)

There are languages where the space character is not used, e.g. Chinese and Japanese IIRC. So it might be interesting to support it for the sake of completeness, but that would be really low in the priority list. :-)
