You might want to avoid clashing to existing commands: s in normal mode 
means "delete and start insert", see ":help s".

In Vim debugging mode, s already means "step". Normal-mode commands are 
not accessible here. You can also repeat the last command (if it was a 
debugging command) with just <Enter>. To step over several statements, 
you may want to set a breakpoint and "continue" instead -- see
	:help debug-scripts
	:help debug-mode
	:help :debug
	:help >cont
	:help >step
	:help :breakadd
