I am trying to write some inline equations in vim-latex, but when I type \(( (To start an equation with a parenthesis), vim replaces it with \\left( \right)<++>.

What is it doing, and how do I stop it?

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Two backslashes before left or it's just a typo? – egreg Oct 09 '14 at 17:25
  • Two backslashes. It looks like it's changing the (( to \left( \right)<++>, and leaving the original backslash alone. – Jeremy Oct 09 '14 at 17:30
  • Note that pressing <Ctrl>-j clears the <++> placeholder and goes into insert mode at that location, which allows you to just keep on typing. It's actually quite a useful feature. If I didn't know about this keybinding I also would have found it very annoying. – Mike Sep 03 '21 at 18:28

That's standard vim-latex expansion for all brackets (( will become \left( <++> \right)<++>, as well as {{ will become \left{ <++> \right}<++>
