My favorite way to move around is to use the pattern search. It is mapped to / by default, but this key is a little difficult to reach with the little finger, i.e. when touch typing. Thus, I mapped the search command to the biggest key on the keyboard: the space bar, because I noticed that I never used its default mapping (move the cursor forward one character). |

This sounds like a small change but it astoundingly increases convenience in every day work. |

My favorite way to move around is to use the pattern search. It is mapped to / by default, but this key is a little difficult to reach with the little finger, i.e. when touch typing. Thus, I mapped the search command to the biggest key on the keyboard: the space bar, because I noticed that I never used its default mapping (move the cursor forward one character).
nmap <Space> / nmap <C-Space> ?
This sounds like a small change but it astoundingly increases convenience in every day work.

I have space mapped to <C-f>. Another variation on the theme...

Space or pattern search?

Actually, the key I use most in normal mode is ':'. That's what I've mapped to my space bar.
