How To Fix xhk: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu xhk is provided by xhk package.

xhk is:

Running xhk detaches the keyboard, and intercepts all input; processing it for space bar pushes as it goes. The space bar acts as a modifier if it is held at the same time as a standard letter. Modifying acts to mirror the input such that key presses are mirrored down the middle of the home row. Pressing space, and then releasing will still provide a single space character.
