sudo pkill -f input-remapper-service && input-remapper-gtk -d, apply the preset and hit your key. log.

I think the next to last line of the json file is the space, right? This:
"type": 1, "code": 274, "origin_hash": "4a7e8e47ac053eac4fb9d67b78df2a8e" } ], "target_uinput": "keyboard", "output_symbol": " ", "mapping_type": "key_macro"
The next to last line ("output_symbol": " ",) has a literal space as the output symbol, which I wager is not read as a key output. Try replacing the literal space as follows:
change "output_symbol": " ", to "output_symbol": "KEY_SPACE",
In the code as written, there is no key for Input-Remapper to inject which may be why nothing happens. Let us know how this helps.
If this solves the issue, close this thread as Resolved/fixed. Sorry for the weird formatting at the beginning, I don't know how that happened.....
