I have the following text:

#Text

My cursor is on character T; I want to obtain

# Text

i.e., to put a space between # and T, without "pressing i and then space". Instead, I want to do so in one single command without mapping. Is there any pre-defined shortkey for this?
Thanks

    Why should it? If you believe you need it, then create a mapping of your own. If you say "I don't want a mapping" then don't.

  • @Matt I was wondering if there is a shortkey because it is fun and also beautiful to do the modifications this way. My inspiration for asking this question was the shortkey diw; I was wondering if there is, something like <space>iw.

    diw is not "a shortcut". It's "delete" applied to "inner word" text object. It's not so hard to create "prepend space" thing and to apply it to any existing text object, but (a) not everyone will find it useful, and so it's not in the core, (b) it'll be a mapping.
