I am trying to remap 'e' keybind with :nnoremap e mynewcommand, but I am a bit lost about how to make the current "end of word" finish one extra position.
For example, right now if I have word1 Xword2 word3 (X being the current position), it ends here: word1 wordX word3.
Is there a way to remap it so that it ends on end of word + 1 position? Like this: word1 word2X word3
Thanks!
Edit1: For some weird reason, when doing the remap: :nnoremap <S-l> e , works like a charm - but, the :nnoremap <S-j> b doesn't work at. Does anyone have any idea?
Edit2: As requested, here is my vim.init:
:nnoremap t r
:nnoremap <SPACE> <INSERT>
:vnoremap i <UP>
:vnoremap <SPACE> <INSERT>
:nnoremap i <UP>
:nnoremap k <DOWN>
:nnoremap j h
:nnoremap <S-l> e
:nnoremap <S-j> b
:nnoremap a <S-A>
:nnoremap vv <S-V>
:vnoremap k <DOWN>
:vnoremap j <LEFT>
:nnoremap dw daw
:inoremap jh <Esc>

First: Vim (and Neovim) doesn't have "maps" so what you are doing are not "remaps", they are "mappings" (or "maps", if you really want).
Second: as someone already pointed out, f<Space> already covers your need so you probably shouldn't spend so much energy on this.
Third: <S-l> and <S-j> are convoluted and unnecessary ways to say L and J. Keep your config simple.
Fourth: :help J and :help L are two very useful commands in their own right so you should think hard about the relative benefits of overriding them. Especially for something as trivial as this.
Fifth: The in nnoremap <key> e is not very readable and is likely to disappear after some hasty formatting. You should consider these alternatives notations:
nnoremap <key> e<Space>
nnoremap <key> el
nnoremap <key> e<Right>
or maybe even:
nnoremap <key> f<Space>
Sixth: The way you explained your situation is not very clear:
word1 Xword2 word3
word1 wordX word3
Where did the 2 go? Which character was the cursor on, exactly? Could you rewrite it in a more explicit way? Something like:
Current behaviour:
word1 word2 word3
^ " position of the cursor before e
^ " position of the cursor after e
Desired behaviour:
word1 word2 word3
^ " position of the cursor before <key>
^ " position of the cursor after <key>
Seventh: I can, sort of, understand the desire for nnoremap L e<Space> because wanting the cursor to land right after the current word seems like a reasonable thing to want. You may want to put something, there, or insert a bracket, or whatever. But I fail to imagine a scenario common enough to justify nnoremap J b<Space>. What, exactly are you trying to do with that mapping? What problem are you trying to solve? And, more importantly, what does "doesn't work" mean?
Are you trying to mirror your L mapping by landing the cursor before the word? Since <Space> moves the cursor to the right, then b<Space> is obviously not going to work but the following might:
nnoremap <key> b<Left>
nnoremap <key> bh
nnoremap <key> b<BS>
or maybe even:
nnoremap <key> F<Space>
