i guess, as did tony at the end of his missive, that what is
being mapped is the Leader, which defaults to \

in order to invoke such a command, in normal mode, you would
type the {lhs} verbatim, eg

\~O

(backslash, tilde, shift-o) quickly enough that it doesn't
time out and reset in the middle -- if you have 'ruler' on and
'showcmd', you will see the backslash and tilde at the bottom
of your screen, but when you hit the O it will go away and the
mapping will trigger
