When typing in Vim I find myself slowed down significantly by the fact that Shift-Space doesn't advance the cursor, so if I'm typing fluidly and I try to type a capital letter or symbol followed by a space, Vim thinks the shift key is still active and the cursor doesn't advance. Then I make a typo and have to backtrack. When typing any significant amount of code this quickly becomes a significant user experience issue. Other text editing programs treat Shift-Space the same as Space, including web browsers when typing in text fields.
I don't really know how Vim works - is this happening because when I hit the Shift key, Vim starts listening for a Shift-foo escape sequence? Is there a way to remap S-Space to have the same functionality as the spacebar, with none of that "listening for an escape sequence" latency?
I currently have Tab and S-Tab bound to "next buffer" and "prev buffer" in my vimrc. Can I have S-Space work the same as Space, without latency, while stil having this S-Tab binding, or will I have to remove all S-foo bindings to get rid of the listening-for-escape-sequence latency?
