What is the <Leader> key?

This section copy from: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1764263/what-is-the-leader-in-a-vimrc-file

The <Leader> key is mapped to \ by default. So if you have a map of <Leader>t, you can execute it by default with \+t. For more detail or re-assigning it using the mapleader variable, see :help leader.

To define a mapping which uses the “mapleader” variable, the special string “<Leader>” can be used.  It is replaced with the string value of “mapleader”. If “mapleader” is not set or empty, a backslash is used instead.  

Example:

:map <Leader>A  oanother line <Esc>

Works like:

:map \A  oanother line <Esc>

But after:

:let mapleader = ","

It works like:

:map ,A  oanother line <Esc>

Note that the value of “mapleader” is used at the moment the mapping is defined.  Changing “mapleader” after that has no effect for already defined mappings.
