The :scriptnames ex-command makes Vim display all scripts which have been sourced in the present Vim session, in the order in which they were sourced. If you have a vimrc (which is the general case) it will be mentioned near the top of the list. If you have a "system vimrc" which may have been added without your knowledge by a system administrator or a Linux distribution, it will appear even before your own vimrc. See ":help :scriptnames" for details. What I suggest? Have a look inside that surround.vim plugin ( with :view ~/.vim/bundle/vim-surround/plugin/surround.vim ) and check if it defines any mappings (by means of one or more of the ex-commands listed in the first two sections of ":help :map-commands"). This might tell you which keys to press to get you effect you desire. If they don't work, use ":scriptnames" to see if Vim found and sourced your sourround.vim script, and if it did, use both ":map" and ":map!" with no arguments, to see if the mappings were actually defined.
