Adding closing chars twice with MacVim

[MSch]

1. Switch to insert mode
2. Type "qwewqe{asdasd
3. Press <Command-Right> to move to end of line
4. Press Esc
5. See that an additional }" gets added

I keep running into the problem as well.

Ditto, I tend to run into this problem a lot when using the arrow keys to move around the document. Here's my version of gvim:

If needed my dotvim files are on github

[bittersweet]

I don't mean to sound too pedantic but you really shouldn't be going anywhere near arrow keys or in this case even OS specific bindings. I did for a time and shaking the habit has proven quite useful with editing on remote servers etc. Although I haven't managed to shake command-w to close windows with MacVim.

[skalnik]

I've been seeing this too.

@bittersweet You're totally right, this is something that users should be avoiding in vim. That being said, I still feel like this shouldn't happen as a punishment for using your arrow keys or OS specific key bindings :)

[MSch]

So does anyone of you have any idea on how to start fixing this behavior?

[randy909]

This seems to be the same issue as this: https://github.com/Raimondi/delimitMate/issues/43

and this: https://github.com/Raimondi/delimitMate/issues/69

The basic issue seems to be getting extra closing characters after hitting escape. Maybe removing the mapping for the ESC key from the plugin would help...

Would you ever want it to insert anything after you hit escape? If not it would seem like a fairly easy fix.

[MSch]

I've fixed the issue in my fork: MSch@aff97432695ca179188db282e63903d6539b7718

This fixes it for Control-Left/Right, I didn't want to add Alt-Left/Right here since it's MacVim specific AFAIK.

So instead I added this to my gvimrc: https://github.com/MSch/dotvim/blob/7d80ca5/gvimrc#L13-17

[skalnik]

Nice! I didn't realize it was such a simple addition @MSch. Send @Raimondi a pull request!

[Raimondi]

I won't merge that fix because the issue is related to MacVim only. This should go into the (g)vimrc.

@MSch : Thanks for sharing the fix!
