I've been reading through their docs[0] and FAQs[1] but cannot for the life of me understand how they can use SPC as a chord prefix, and also just type normal sentences on a keyboard.

I don't want to try it, but I do want to know.

I have grown to like it so much, that I find myself hitting the spacebar when I am in command mode in vim.

It's amazing what bindings you get used to. My desktop has Win+E to launch Emacs, and Win+T for a terminal, and any machine that I work on that isn't my desktop, gets a confusing treatment of these two angry chords
