two dollar signs in insert mode in VIM

When I type two dollar signs $$ in insert mode in VIM it changes the text to $$<++>. What does this mean? And how do I make it no longer do this?

In general hunt for unknown/unwanted mappings with:

:verbose map $$

or

:verbose abbr $$

Not only will it tell you what mappings/abbreviations exist, but also where.

This is a place holder inserted by the latex-suite plugin. You can jump to it with <C-j> (Ctrl+J).

see "Place Holders" section here: http://vim-latex.sourceforge.net/documentation/latex-suite/latex-macros.html

Sounds like the latex-suite plugin (or something similar). Use :scriptnames to see which plugins have been loaded.

May be an abbreviation or a map. Check

:ia

or

:imap

with a result like:

i  $$            $$<++>

If found there, remove it with:

:inuabbrev $$

or with

:iunmap $$
