Map <SPACE> to ":" maybe is a good idea, semicolon is fairly usefull too,
after all

Yes, I do that, I've done it for decades, a real boon. If I'm f-ing and
t-ing a lot, and miss the ";" function, I sometimes unmap it, or noremap
something else to ";". The worst downside is when running vim without my
.vimrc, maybe on a new install, or testing stuff with vim -u NONE.

(The story goes that when Bill Joy wrote the original vi he was using an
ADM-3A terminal, which has an unshifted colon. Some claim he was simply
reproducing the existing ex prompt, which was a colon, but I say if his
colon (the one on his keyboard I mean ;)) had needed shift he would have
quickly changed it.)

Regards, John
