vim: something is mapped to “(” and “)”, can’t unmap

by Rubin|Published August 30, 2025

I have a problem with Neovim: ds( (delete surrounding parentheses) hotkey sequence provided by vim-surround plugin doesn’t work.

( and ) jump back and forth in text (in vim too!), I can’t understand the behavior pattern.

:map ( and :map <S-9> doesn’t show anything.

So what ( and ) hotkeys in vim does and how to unmap the default behavior?
