How to unset key mapped by vim plugin multiple-cursors?
I want to use the IdeaVim plugin with set multiple-cursors. However, the default key mapping of multiple-cursors conflict with my keyboard layout (Svorak A5) so that I can no longer type closing square brackets, which is a deal-breaker for using the plugin.
Basically, Alt+P is both mapped to closing bracket by my keyboard layout and (I guess) to
let g:multi_cursor_prev_key = <A-p>
by the multple-cursors plugin. In regular vim (i.e. in my shell) this is not a problem because Alt+P behaves differently in insert mode (bracket) and normal mode (multiple-cursors mapping), but in GoLand the plugin overrides the keyboard layout. I have tried to unset the mapping by
let g:multi_cursor_prev_key = <Nop>
but it does not work. Any help on this would be much appreciated!

Vim unmapping via `:unmap` is not supported yet, feel free to vote for https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-1491. You can map `A-n>` to `<Nop>` via `:map <A-n> <Nop>`, but I'm not sure that this will free up `]` for your keyboard layout.
I don't know how it happened, but the issue disappeared and I can no longer reproduce the error.
Thanks for your help though! Btw, I voted for the unmap feature since I think it could be useful for debugging, like you state in the description.
Now the problem came back, but for Alt-N instead of Alt-P (which is also mapped by the same plugin), in both GoLand and PhpStorm (which makes sense since they both read from `~/.ideavimrc`). I don't have time to dig further unfortunately and will just disable the plugins.
