Trying to use my custom config, but there is a Error while reading config file

Issue description

I’m trying to create my custom config, but no matter what i change in my config, it always leads to this problem The thing that made me go here to ask about it is because it doesn’t look that my config.py is wrong, I’ve put a logger.warning() in each “category” of my config.py and it’s going through every single one of them I’ll put the .config/qtile/config.py and the .local/share/qtile/qtile.log for you to see

Qtile version

0.18.1

Maybe tomorrow I’ll try to update to the git version of qtile

Yeah, you’re trying to match key names as per this file: https://github.com/qtile/qtile/blob/master/libqtile/backend/x11/xkeysyms.py

[henriquekirchheck]

It worked, I also had to use <space> instead of <Space>
