Related feature requests (optional)

Space key never conflicts with OS hotkeys and is also used by me in my neovim config, so it would be much more convenient for a lot of people

Example of Key binds

space → leader

leader + h → to split horizontally
leader + v → to split vertically

Maybe this should be generalized to supporting chorded hotkeys, like in VS Code and JetBrains and vim, so that you could add ^w s and ^w v

Actually, this may be considered a Plugin Idea, in which case there already are two. Find these two, plus a user commenting on the “Space ” hotkey as well here: Enhance how hotkeys works(key chords) - #4 by alienm
