Question

Recently I acquaint myself with vim editor and its hotkey system, however I am not confident that I am ok with the first character in its system, I want to try another one as the first hotkey.
How can I change the first key in a hotkey sequences from backslash to another in vim?

Answer 1

Try

:let mapleader = ","

In an interactive session. To make it permanent, add it to your .vimrc without the :.
