the following solution only works with root rights:

sudo apt install python3-pip
pip3 install keyboard
sudo autokey

then this works (tested in Kubuntu 20.04, see Details below):

import keyboard as keyboard2 # must be different name becouse of name conflicts
while True:
    key = keyboard2.read_key()
    if keyboard2.is_pressed(' '): 
        keyboard.send_keys("You pressed space")
    if key == "p":
        break

tested with:

Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
