You might be able to use an abbreviation to do this. I have not done
this but it seems like you can write a function and have the
abbreviation call the function. See the example under :help
abbreviation where a function called Eatchar is used to delete a space
typed after an abbreviation. You might be able to write a function
that checks to see what character appears before the "=" character and
insert a space if necessary.
