Rhino 8 Mac Spacebar behavior

Rhino Rhino for Mac

I’m used to using Rhino on Windows but have to use a company-provided machine. The different space bar behavior is driving me crazy, my muscle memory is to hit spacebar to confirm each command and it’s not working consistently. I can’t use keyboard shortcuts to map space to enter. Is there any solution here, it is slowing me down and frustrating me to no end.

For the future: I was able to circumvent this issue by using Karabiner-Elements, a free software, with the following custom rule:

{
    "description": "Space to Enter (Rhino only, excluding text fields)",
    "manipulators": [
        {
            "conditions": [
                {
                    "bundle_identifiers": [
                        "^com\\.mcneel\\.rhinoceros\\.8$"
                    ],
                    "type": "frontmost_application_if"
                },
                {
                    "expression": "accessibility.focused_ui_element.role_string like 'AXText*'",
                    "type": "expression_unless"
                }
            ],
            "from": { "key_code": "spacebar" },
            "to": [{ "key_code": "return_or_enter" }],
            "type": "basic"
        }
    ]
}

It has worked in my preliminary testing, and deactivates in text boxes so you can use spaces when naming layers, adding text, etc.
