Auto LeaderKey Detection

[pablosproject]

Hey, I am an avid user of leader key in Vim, and I want to keep using the spacebar as my default leader key.
I am thinking if it would be interesting in exploring auto leader detection like how SpaceLauncher is doing (https://spacelauncherapp.com/).

I assume they have some sort of timeout or focus on the current window to detect if you want tto press the leader key or not.

Sounds nice. It's not something I'll build in for now but maybe there's a way to map this with Karabiner. Worth a try!

Agree. I am doing something similar using https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/ with the rule SpaceFN, but still it lags some seconds and feels "slow" 😆 .

Anyway, thanks for the great app, it's really making me more productive.

@mikker, I hope you don't mind me joining in. Keyboard Cowboy has that kind of functionality.
@pablosproject, this is how I use it for Xcode specifically.

So when I hold Space for 0.1 seconds, it will turn into a "modifier"/leader-key.
Then you can have an infinite sequence after.
