can not unmap [%

[bika-c]

I am not so sure why map [% and ]% to<NOP> does not work nor unmap

edit, just realize <nop> did not display properly

[chrisbra]

so is [% actually being mapped? Check the output of :verbose nmap [%. I just tried and it seems to work for me. Do you get an error message?

[bika-c]

Here is the verbose map [%

This is verbose nmap [%

If I try to do unmap [%, it says no such mapping. This is probably because I can't unmap internal mappings?

try first to nunmap [

[bika-c]

nunmap [
nunmap ]                                                                                                                          
unmap [%
unmap ]%
map [% <nop>
map ]% <nop>
"map [ <C-o>
"map ] <C-i>

Still there, [% still works. I have no clue what might be causing it. I just want to map [ to <C-O>

[chrisbra]

Try :nunmap [% please. Also try with a minimal vimrc file to rule out some conflicts with other settings.

I am able to unmap it with the command :nunmap [%, but if I put it into the init.vim, it complains no such keybinding and I am not able to remove it (that is the only thing I have in the init.vim). Is it normal?

[chrisbra]

yes, most likely the plugin isn't loaded by the time you want to unmap it.

[chrisbra]

so put it into a VimEnter autocommand to have it triggered later
