Okay, I could test this now: Backspace, Esc and Space work with that
patch: 
                  [bang( [key]
                   \    /
                    [f ]
                    |
 [keyname]          [makefilename %c]
        |           |
        [select dummy]
        |
        [bng]

First press key you want to test, then click the top bang and press
key again: [select] will fire correctly on <Space>, <Esc> and
<Backspace>. However <Enter> doesn't work.

Note that "symbol <mystery_char_for_space>" is something different
from "symbol  " and also different from "symbol 32" or "symbol SPACE".
I believe, the way keyname handles this ATM is okay.

Ciao
