Whenever I type two curly braces ({{), I get something like that:

{

}

| is used to describe the position of the cursor.

This behaviour is totally annoying, e.g. when using different template engines which reserve this syntax for variables.

How can I find out where that behaviour comes from? And how do I shut it off?

    :verbose abbrev
