That command will reveal the key you currently have configured to be
your <Leader>. Assuming the output of the above command is:
mapleader ,
You should then be able to execute the first command by going:
v
[moving around for selection]
,=
For the second command, replace ",=" above with ",g=".
The <Leader> defaults to \ on some installations, I believe.
\ is the default value, and that's the value used if mapleader is
empty. It's a bad idea to set mapleader to , unless you have a
keyboard where \ is hard to type, as , is already a Vim command.
Absolutely. I apologise for the bad recommendation. In my defense, I
hardly use f, F, t, T (most because I didn't really know them - that
might change now) and even then, "," has a derivative function based on
those commands. So, in my case at least, it's a pretty safe key to
remap, and quite necessary in general, since \ is far out of the way
(keyboard makers seem to just follow their own noses when designing -
standards? WHAT standards?!). I have mapped \ (in normal mode) to
:let @/=''<CR>
as I occasionally need to clear the search buffer to see what I'm doing.
I will refrain from recommending "," as <Leader> from now on. Sorry for
any trouble!
