<Space>

Top Pro

Easily reachable with both hands

In most keyboard layouts it is the biggest key and is reachable with both hands easily. See More

Top Con

There are better uses for <space>

It is better to use space for EasyMotion. This is an important key that's rarely used. See More

Top Pro

No need to move your hands away from home row

Top Con

Space feels clumsy once you use it in combos, as a single hit key it's great

Use space for stuff you use all the time (eg FZF), once you try combos it feels super odd. I guess the thumb is just a different animal than the other fingers... See More

Top Pro

By default, <Space> does the same thing as lowercase `L`

Top Con

Space is commonly used to toggle folds

For those who use folds a lot, a common mapping is: nnoremap <space> za Not a problem if you don't share your editing session with anyone else of course. See More
