I went crazy, and it's a bit more tricky to pull off, but `q` is my leader key. Haven't looked back.

P.S. I mapped `Q` to recording Macros, since the default use of `Q` is completely useless to me.

I keep `q` to record macros, but complement that with :noremap <Space> @q That way I can press `qq` to start recording, `q` to end, then just wack the spacebar to execute. I use it constantly.
