Just installed the surround plugin.

New buffer, type Hello World. Say I want to surround that with quotes.

In normal mode, V to get into visual mode, s to get into surround

Except it doesn’t, s deletes the entire line.

    The default visual mode mapping of surround.vim is Shift–S, not lowercase s.

    You can check whether it’s defined with :verbose vmap S. Do the other surround.vim mappings (ys, cs, …) work? If not, check :scriptnames and :set runtimepath? for troubleshooting.
