How do I change the sub-context separator character?

OmniFocus
#1

I believe there used to be a preference but it’s gone and searching hasn’t offered any hints on where to change it now.

#2

There’s a page someone made with most, if not all, OmniFocus 2 hidden preferences.

From that page:

CHANGE THE PROJECT HIERARCHY SEPARATOR CHARACTER

If you’re using folders, OmniFocus will show the complete path in the project selection drop-down list using a colon as the hierarchy separation character, e.g. Personal : Finance. You can configure the character used to separate the project hierarchy with the URL:

omnifocus:///change-setting?OFMNamedObjectHierarchicalNameSeparator=%20:%20
Note that %20 is the code for a space).
