Disable ]] Mapping

[JBlocklove]

I don't use the ]] mapping to close delimiters but I can't find a setting to disable or change it. I tried setting the keymap to <Nop> but I still get a slight pause when typing the first ] which is ultimately what I'm trying to get rid of. Is there a good or correct way to either disable this mapping entirely or create a different mapping for the vimtex-delim-close function?

The best way to disable a single mapping is to create a new mapping for that specific <plug> mapping, e.g. something like this:

imap <buffer> <sid>]] <plug>(vimtex-delim-close)

or in Lua:

vim.keymap.set("i", "<sid>]]", "<plug>(vimtex-delim-close)", { buffer = true })

I would add this to your personal ftplugin/tex.vim or ftplugin/tex.lua file, if you have one. If not, then you need to add this to a filetype autocommand so that it only executes on the tex filetype.

Minor explanation: <sid> is a special code that you can use in mappings that expand to a special key code <snr> and a number for that particular script file. Thus, we are now creating a mapping that is extremely unlikely that you would trigger by accident. And when VimTeX loads, it will not create the default ]] mapping because it finds that there is already a mapping for <plug>(vimtex-delim-close).

Works perfectly, thank you!

No problem, glad to hear it!
