Ragtag apparently not working?

Question

I am currently trying to use ragtag to close some of my html tags in ERB files. However, pressing something like (C-X)/ (which I interpret to be , "CONTROL" + "uppercase X" + "/") it just prints the / to the buffer. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Make sure you're in the correct mode. The (Ctrl-X) key mappings of ragtag.vim only work in "insert" mode, which is a bit non-intuitive since most text manipulation in Vim is done in "normal" mode.

Answer 2

First, make sure in your .vimrc file, you have the line

let g:ragtag_global_maps = 1

This gives you access to the ragtag key mappings as in <C-X>/ or <C-X><space>

Next, be sure to note that the available ragtag functions available to you depends on the type of file you're in. For instance, when you're in a standard .rb file, you only get a few features, whereas if you open an erb file, you get all the goodies.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Try modifying timeoutlen and ttimeoutlen to something bigger, or delete any lines you have set in your .vimrc. The default value should be sufficient for ragtag to work.
