Thanks a lot Suresh.
The only problem is that your suggestion does not work :'( .
Actually, it is the ALT-c mapping that cannot be set.
I tried it with CTRL-p and it works just fine.
" use Ctrl-p to enter column selection mode
imap <C-p> <c-o>g<c-h>
Albeit, it would be heaven, if I could set the ALT-c mapping. Besides,
that's the windoze approach. :-)

Try creating the following insert-mode map:
:imap <A-c> <c-o>g<c-h>
and then using the sequence <Alt-c> and hold SHIFT etc. If you
like it, place "imap <A-c> <c-o>g<c-h>" in your vimrc file.
