having issue with visual surround

[Tommyb841]

I'm having an issue with this. S is mapped to VSurround. When I try to surround text with a tag it deletes and inserts something else.

works over here. maybe another plugin or map is interfering. check :verbose map for conflicts and try with this minimal .vimrc and see if it works as expected. use vim -u <minimal vimrc path>

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugs')
Plug 'tpope/vim-repeat'
Plug 'tpope/vim-surround'
call plug#end()

I have a very similar problem on a new system. The local configuration (~./vim and ~/.vimrc) was transferred unchanged from my main system, but the s map does not work anymore, exhibiting the behavior Tommy describes. S does work, however.

For the original system :verbose map lists mappings for S and s (to VSurround), but the new system only has a S mapping for VSurround, and there is no interfering mapping for s. I fail to see why the mapping to VSurround is missing.

Accidentally revealing my problematic update habits :) Thanks!
