How to get rid of ">>" on vim shows after modification

">>" would show up on the sidebar of the vim editor every time I press <jk> (i map them to esc) This happens in both zsh shell and MacVim app.

Even a deleting my .vimrc would not help can anyone please help me

Solution

  • The following mapping will hide all signs (:h :sign) when you press jk to leave insert mode:

    :inoremap jk <Esc><Cmd>sign unplace * group=*<CR>

    This will solve the problem by hiding the signs (read: hide the problem).

    However, this is a dirty hack at best. It would be far better to find out which program is annotating the file and turn it off there.

    From the information provided in the question, there's no telling where the signs might come from.

    My blind guess would be to blame You Complete Me, in that case, you would turn them off with

    let g:ycm_enable_diagnostic_signs=0
