The Vim LaTeX Suite includes some insert-mode mappings that try to
save you keystrokes by detecting the type of LaTeX structure that
you are creating and completing parts of it for you. When it does
this, it inserts <++> as a placeholder in the next part of the
structure to be defined. When you complete the part of the
structure the cursor is currently in, you type Ctrl-J and the
cursor advances to the next <++> section. See
:help imaps-usage
You can also find a whole lot of examples by executing
:helpgrep <++>
In some cases this expansion is triggered by typing a closing
parenthesis, brace or bracket. There is probably interference
between those mappings and those of your autoclose plugin.
How you resolve the issue will depend on the behavior you want.
Personally, those Vim LaTeX mappings drove me crazy so I disabled
them by putting this in a ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/tex.vim file.
for s:m in ['}', ')', ']', ':']
silent! execute 'iunmap' s:m
endfor
unlet s:m
