One thing I tried to make in Emacs was a window at the top which shows the lines that you do not see that are unindenting from the currently visible indentation. It would act almost like a header. Next, would be to display these vertically inside the space created by the indentation itself. I don't see how to pack more source code context information on a screen than that

did it work? can you share? I imagine a sticky header for the last line of any text from another level, is that would you built?

edit: found a plugin that does it nicely for org-mode :) org-sticky-header

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Mine is nearly the same. I use xcape to make space behave as ctrl when pressed in conjunction with other keys, but just space otherwise. Much more convenient use of the left thumb. But yes, in practice there is some getting used to it if you are a fast typer, because xcape uses a tiny time threshold to distinguish between the intent behind these two (and that normal space occurs at key release, not key press).

Interesting, I alt as control on Windows and Linux. I wonder if there is a way to map Space to Control when tapped on Windows.

Map as in the equivalent of the xcape solution? You can do these things using AutoHotKey. I use this:
