Any suggestions on keys/key combos that are good candidates for custom
mappings etc?
Maybe a dumb question but I hate having to unlearn something, I'd like
to create a fair number of mappings that use a consistent convention and
won't conflict with anything existing. I think Bram mentioned he's
found prefixing with _ works well..
I think that, apart from '\' (backslash) and probably '_'
(underscore) there aren't many keys available for everyone to use as
mapleader.
This said, depending on your keyboard layout, you may find
interesting candidates: for example, my spanish keyboard comes with ç,
which is just under my right little finger and that I almost never use.
So, I've remapped some combos to 'çç', 'ç+', 'ç-', etc. That is, the key
I don't use and the keys that are near to it.
This is very useful to me, but this works only on spanish keyboards.
Which layout do you use?

On my Belgian keyboard, there are ù (u-grave) and µ (greek mu) at the right
end of the middle row, plus shift-mu which is £ (pound sterling). Shift-ù is %
and Vim uses that, especially when matchit is enabled. Then there are keys
like ² (superscript 2), é (e-acute), § (paragraph), è (e-grave), ç
(c-cedilla), à (a-grave) as the unshifted counterparts of various keys of the
digits row (on this AZERTY layout the digits are shifted, unlike on US-QWERTY).
But I'd say the F keys are the "safest" in general, especially when taking
portability into account.
