No, but closed-source/commercial/proprietary.

In theory, yes. But somehow the shift and space bar being pressed and
released first tell it to "keep" the keypresses to itself, rather than
sending them and the function key on to the X Server.

I'll keep that in mind.

They offer a time-limited trial version [0], but IIRC, you still need to
register somewhere with your E-Mail address (and they'll send you promo
E-Mails during the trial phase, and possibly even afterwards).

As I said, feel free to do so - you're way more knowledgeable about the
code involved than I am.
