One-handed keyboard

[dennis....@3ds.com]

I broke my left hand and I need to learn to type with only my right hand. I purchased a half-QWERTY keyboard. Holding down the space bar flips the keyboard to the other hand. I want to program the internal keyboard on my Mac to behave this way. How can I achieve this behavior from the space bar?

Karabiner provides FrogPad-compatible layout.
(You can find it by searching "frogpad" on Preferences.)
How about it?

See PDF link of this page for detail of FrogPad.

FrogPad is a completely new system to master. The half-QWERTY technique leverages my 40 years of habit. I'm adapting fairly quickly.

 It took a few hours of study and experimentation to arrive at a solution. I'm using HoldingKeyToKey with VK_CONFIG_SYNC_KEYDOWNUP to  get the behavior that I need.

Thank you for your help!

Dennis, can you share your settings?  I'd like to do something similar.

[dennis....@3ds.com]

Here's my current implementation. Note that I also enable sticky modifier keys.

Question: how do I implement backspace and delete? Can somebody teach me how to change the backspace and delete let's say to 
spacebar-tab and spacebar-tilde?

Thanks,

Here are the frogpad remaps for karabiner: https://github.com/clarkm/dupepad/blob/master/private.xml

They're also on frogpad.com.

It's similar to the 'grenouille' frogpad-compatible layout already built into karabiner, but I like mine a little better :).

Anyway, I still haven't got this working in karabiner-elements. Has anyone got 'HoldingKeyToKey with VK_CONFIG_SYNC_KEYDOWNUP' working? 

This is essential for a one-handed keyboard.
