Can I use SPACE as mapleader in VIM?

Question

Hello,

From http://items.sjbach.com/319/configuring-vim-right I got that you were supposed to be able to use SPACE as the mapleader in vim. I've tried but it does not seem to work. Anyone who have made it work?

Tried: let mapleader = <space>

Thanks,

-Martin

Answer 1

Try

let mapleader=" "

instead. HTH

Answer 2

It worked, thanks! I feel a little stupid for not trying that one myself. This is really nice. Since I always keep my thumbs on the space key it is really easy to use.
