For discussion, we'll assume the ys mapping of surround.vim isn't working.

To see what it is mapped to, and who mapped it, simply ask Vim with:

:verbose map ys

This will tell you what the mapping invokes, and also which file set up the mapping. From there it should be trivial to figure out which plugin it belongs to.

If it is an insert-mode mapping (for example, the CTRL+S mapping of surround.vim), use:

:verbose map! <C-S>
