I was trying to remap some keys to switch to the next buffer, but something doesn't work, I have these lines on my .vimrc file:
" Cambia tecla lider a <Space>
let mapleader="<Space>"
" Switch to next buffer
nnoremap <Leader>l :bn<CR>
" Switch to previous buffer
nnoremap <Leader>h :bp<CR>
" Split the window
nnoremap <Leader>k :split<CR>
Are those lines okay? or Is there something wrong?
An observation: when I change
<Leader>to<Space>it works.
Inside :map commands, the special :help key-notation needs to be used, especially for space, because whitespace separates the arguments of :map. The mapleader is a built-in variable, and as such requires no escaping. You can simply use
:let mapleader = ' '
Alternatively, if you'd like to stick to the same notation, the keyword needs to be escaped and put in double quotes (cp. :help expr-quote):
:let mapleader = "\<Space>"
The problem was a missing \
let mapleader = "\<Space>"
let mapleader = "\<Space>". Note the back slash inside the quote.
