# Tweaking Doom Emacs to use SPC SPC

I've always liked the `SPC SPC` binding for `M-x` in [[spacemacs]]. It's perhaps the easiest keychaim to access so it makes it easy to run commands quickly.

So I missed it in [[Doom Emacs]] - especially as I'm using that on mobile. In Doom, `SPC :` is bound to `M-x`. I appreciate the inclination behind it - to feel familiar to : for commands in vi -  but `SPC :` is a bit of a pain on my mobile keyboard.

So:

```emacs-lisp
(map! :leader
      "SPC" nil
      :desc "M-x" "SPC" #'execute-extended-command)
```

in `/.doom.d/config.el`  gives me back SPC SPC for commands.

That means that `SPC SPC` no longer provides the find file in project behaviour that it's bound to by default in Doom, but that's OK, I can use `SPC p f` for that.
