Description

There is no key code corresponding to the space key in USBHIDKeyboard.h. To use the space key, you need to use the ASCII value 32, which is not intuitive. I suggest adding a key code that corresponds to the space key.

For example, you can define:
#define KEY_SPACE 0x20
This change allows you to write code for pressing the space bar just like any other special key:
Keyboard.press(KEY_SPACE);
We would appreciate it if you would consider fixing this issue. Thank you.

Sketch

Keyboard.press(KEY_SPACE);
