3 years ago Sorry, didn't see this line in the config file:
If there are multiple devices with the same name, you may add :# to the string (ex: Name="Your Keyboard":2)
My bad. Issue closed. Works now.
This is a fresh 20.04 install. touchcursor install files are from the zip in the current repo. 'make install' was run from the Downloads folder. All the install files are where they are supposed to be:
/usr/bin/touchcursor /home/van/.config/touchcursor /home/van/.config/systemd/user
touchcursor ran fine on Ubuntu 19.04, even with this non-standard split keyboard. Now:
systemctl --user status touchcursor.service ● touchcursor.service - Touch Cursor Service Loaded: loaded (/home/van/.config/systemd/user/touchcursor.service; enable> Active: active (running) since Mon 2020-10-05 10:12:40 EDT; 11s ago Main PID: 51231 (touchcursor) CGroup: /user.slice/user-1000.slice/user@1000.service/touchcursor.service └─51231 /usr/bin/touchcursor
But using the spacebar just repeats the space character.
Here is the device info about the keyboard from /proc/bin/devices. Maybe I'm making some bonehead error but been trying to track this down for hours - I totally depend on touchcursor to stay sane while keyboarding. Any help appreciated.
Here is my config, it is default except for the keyboard name:

Find this line using 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices | less' and copy the full Name="" line here
