ANSWER:

You can identify the mapping and its source via the different map commands. For example: :verbose map * could output something like this:

v         * :m-2gv=gv
        Last set from ~/.vimrc
n         * :m-2==
        Last set from ~/.vimrc

If you have some time to kill have a look at the Vim Tips Wiki on the topic of key mappings. Their tutorial covers all you need.

If you’ve got Ruby on your machine I can highly recommend the vimdb gem.
