In AHK (windows) or Karabiner*) (Mac) there is a „complex modification“ of the 
Space Bar’s behaviour possible:

===============================================================
Change Space Bar to Shift. (Post space bar if pressed alone.)
===============================================================

Would it be possible to interfere with the (Free)DOS’s Keyboard to create a 
similar behaviour in DOS??

Bret Johnson has exentsively worked on keyboard modifications, as I have some 
of his software here, but seemingly there wasn’t a solution at the time 
(1980/1990ies) available. I know that nobody would program something alike 
TODAY, but I keep trying to „investigate“ - I don’t even know what it would 
take to intercept the space-bars status’ to divert into an „if“-state. (See 
code below.)
Any ideas somebody?

PS: The goal is it, to get rid of the shift keys (left AND right) and shift 
keys only using together with the space bar key. Or other way round: Immagine a 
Shift key pressed alone inserts a „space“, else works as the SHIFT key as 
normally…
