This is amazing, thank you very much. The only issue i have is that, space is always triggered as leader and expects another key to be pressed, even in the terminal. As you can guess, it does not even allow me to write anything on the terminal with more than one word as it breaks. Does anyone have this issue and a way to solve it?
