about vim

This may sound like a fool question but I really need to now what a <leader> key means in vim and how do I know which key is?

backslash (\) by default.

A simple search of vim tips is incredibly useful:

# vim - X capabilities(can drag splits in xterms, runs as server etc), Ruby,python and Perl-support. listens to /etc/vimrc ~/.vimrc

That much.

For the future, vim has the single most comprehensive help system I've ever seen. Need to know what <leader> means?

:h <leader>

Consequently, you can change the leader with 'mapleader'

let mapleader = "`"

I like the backtick key

I'd say Emacs is about equal WRT to the help system, no?
