How to trigger a space key event with keycode

I am trying to trigger space key with keycode in JavaScript. I will be sending voice command with space and it should trigger a space event with a keycode.

This is what I have done so far

if(firstword =="space"){
  const ev = {
     type: 'space',
    keyCode: 32 
}
editor.triggerOnKeyDown(ev);

The code works perfectly if I use enter or other keycode but not working for space, any idea?

You can try like this:

const ev = new KeyboardEvent('keydown',{'keyCode':32,'which':32});
