Can't use vim-surround with IdeaVim

Question

iv started using IdeaVim as Plugin for Rider. Everything is working fine except using vim-surround. The corresponding github page states vim-surround should be emulated. https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim

When i press cs{ the cursor behaves like: nothing, nothing, jump to former paragraph.

Does anyone have an intention on how to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

You need to actually enable emulated ideavim plugins in your ~/.ideavimrc. You can enable vim-surround with

set surround

and in general, you can refer to the docs for emulated plugins.
