I have the vimspell plugin installed and I am able to use the ':'

If I type \sA to start autospell mode for instance I get:

. a switch to insert mode for the s
. an inserted capital "A"
Apparently, after I type the backslash Vim waits for ensuing
characters. If none are entered before a timeout expires Vim acts on
the "\".
Since when I do this I am in "command" mode and "\" by itself is not
mapped to anything .. Vim beeps .. complaining I entered a command he
knows nothing about.
Then Vim processes the "s" -- deleting the character under the cursor
and switching to insert mode .. and since I am now in insert mode..
inserts an "A"
Questions:
1. Is the above interpretation correct?
2. Is there any way I can increase the timeout?
3. If not, what's a good substitute <leader> for the backslash?
Thanks

see
:help 'timeout'
:help 'ttimeout'
:help 'timeoutlen'
:help 'ttimeoutlen'
For instance, to time out mappings after 10 seconds but keyboard
auto-generated key sequences (for special keys in some terminals) after
0.25 seconds:
:set timeout timeoutlen=10000 ttimeoutlen=250
The 'ttimeoutlen' setting should be large enough for your hardware
(including the communication line if you're using Vim on a remote
machine); 'timeoutlen' should be large enough for your typing speed
(including hesitations).
Best regards,
Tony.
