title: Can I use SPACE as mapleader in VIM?
body: <p>From <a href="http://items.sjbach.com/319/configuring-vim-right" rel="noreferrer">http://items.sjbach.com/319/configuring-vim-right</a> I got that you were supposed to be able to use <kbd>Space</kbd> as the mapleader in vim. I've tried but it does not seem to work. Anyone who have made it work? </p>
  
  <p>Tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>let mapleader = &lt;space&gt;
  </code></pre>
