That looks loads bulkier than the Brompton 2 speed shifter

Doable. I've done a couple of those and another with a Fox dropper lever. You just need to clamp the cable in with some sort of barrel. I had some old Sturmey Archer barrel clamp I used.
Cable feeds in from 'derailleur' side and up to the shifter. Just gotta find a method to clamp it. Add/release tension. Sorted.
Others soldered brass to the end.
Other solutions will look like this.

Just need the newer style anchorage, but these do not work as well as the new integrated shifter, are not as ergonomic and not my cuppa!

This would work well if you fit the 2017+ chain pusher assembly where the cable is attach to that end instead of the shifter like the old one.

Brought one of these to replace my two speed shifter, have seen them fitted to bromptons online. But was told it wouldn’t fit by lbs, because of the way the cable connects at the derailleur end. Looked online for some info on how others had fitted it, but couldn’t find anything.
Am I missing something, extra piece, some sort of thingyamibob or other, as I’d like to fit this, not a massive fan of the Brompton shifter and would like something smaller on there.
Anyone fitted it and can let me know how you did it?
