SPC SPC as a leader key initialization Even in Insert state/mode or the Emacs Input mode.

Greetings,
Following is my config how can I add "SPC SPC" as my second global-prefix to access my leader key inside insert state / mode restricted by some timeout?

 (general-create-definer gm/leader-keys
      :states '(normal insert visual emacs)
      :keymaps 'override
      :prefix "SPC" ;; set leader
      :global-prefix "M-SPC") ;; access leader in insert mode

Taking inspiration from illustrated block below;

;; exmple block to exit insert moder with the keys which will be active inside insert mode.
  (general-imap "j"
    (general-key-dispatch 'self-insert-command
      :timeout 0.25
      "k" 'evil-normal-state))

Thank you, Warm regards.

You can have your definer use a :prefix-map and only binds in normal/visual. You can then then bind SPC in insert/emacs to a general-key-dispatch that binds SPC to that prefix keymap.

Thank you very much for the reply.
If I may ask,

;; So the new block will look like,
(general-create-definer gm/leader-keys
    :states '(normal visual)
    :keymaps 'override
    :prefix "SPC" ;; set leader
    :global-prefix "M-SPC") ;; access leader in insert mode
	  
;; and the edited dispatcher block for the insert and emacs mode:	  
(general-imap "SPC"
    (general-key-dispatch 'self-insert-command
      :timeout 0.25
      "SPC" 'evil-normal-state))

Am safe to assume this is what you meant ?
Apologies Am very new new to Emacs, from non programming background.

Regards

It depends on what you want. If you want to be able to run a command with SPC a in normal state or with SPC SPC a in insert state, you can do something like this:

(general-create-definer gm/leader-keys
  :states '(normal visual)
  :keymaps 'override
  :prefix "SPC"
  :prefix-map 'gm-leader-prefix-map)

(gm/leader-keys "a" #'test)

(general-def '(insert emacs)
  "SPC" (general-key-dispatch 'self-insert-command
          :timeout 0.25
          "SPC" gm-leader-prefix-map))
