@@ -127,6 +127,7 @@ The following special keys are available for mapping:
 - `<c-*>`, `<a-*>`, `<m-*>` for ctrl, alt, and meta (command on Mac) respectively with any key. Replace `*`
   with the key of choice.
 - `<left>`, `<right>`, `<up>`, `<down>` for the arrow keys
+- `<space>` for the space key
 - `<f1>` through `<f12>` for the function keys
 
 Shifts are automatically detected so, for example, `<c-&>` corresponds to ctrl+shift+7 on an English keyboard.
