I have it on this Win 10 laptop to kill the Caps Lock key. Don't know about the spacebar though. I think you are pushing things too much. Functionally, he needs to be able to easily and quickly apply and reverse the substitution. Technically, the space character is just like any other standard character, it is easy for a keyboard macro program to handle.

Even keyboard activated scripting would help greatly with that. Not just talking about pressing the enter key, but there are a few extremely useful macros that can help with research. I use a few macros for that purpose, sometimes constantly when researching or shopping for something. They eliminate thousands of keystrokes and mouse clicks in a short period of time. "copy" double-clicks and copies the selected word under the pointer (this simple one has always been my favorite) "remove" double-clicks and cuts the word under the pointer "delete" double-clicks and cuts the word under the pointer "replace" double clicks and pastes under the pointer "insert" clicks and pastes at the pointer location Those are just a few examples of that type, useful for text editing and searching. Another type works on text box material... "potter" clicks (with the pointer being in the text box), selects and deletes the line, pastes, and presses enter That one eliminates all sorts of work since it is repeated a jillion times during research. "patter" does the same as above, but it puts the pasted text in quotes before pressing enter There are many of such macros that save a jillion keystrokes especially when doing shopping or research for extended periods. If I did not use speech, I would use the numeric keypad with NUMlock off. That gives you at least nine or 10 different scripts/macros. They fire a lot more quickly than speech activated macros, which is advantageous if you do not use speech for dictation and all sorts of other automation. Keyboard activation is quick, but is good for only very limited number of scripts.

Don't worry, I'm also working on a foot switch, if only it came with English instructions! "Extended-time Internet searching" means downloading images.
