+## Choice of leader
+In my opinion, an important part of any (Neo)vim config is choosing which
+leader key to use. The default `\` leader wasn't going to cut it for me for
+three main reasons:
+
+* Backslash required me to stretch my hand every time
+* In Belgium (where I live), we use AZERTY instead of QWERTY, and the backslash
+  key is often not present on those keyboards or requires a key combination to
+  type
+* I use both AZERTY and QWERTY and wanted a key that was the same on both
+
+Therefore, I chose Space as my main leader key and Tab as my local leader (even
+though I've never actually used it). This allows me to use the same muscle
+memory on my refurbished MacBook (AZERTY) and my Ducky (QWERTY).
