Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V have other meanings in Vim... _unless_ you have the infamous mswin.vim getting in the way. In Normal mode: Ctrl-C is Break or Interrupt, mswin remaps it to Copy. Ctrl-V is Block Visual, mswin remaps it to Paste Ctrl-X is Decrement Number, mswin remaps it to Cut... In Insert mode: Ctrl-C is Break out of Insert mode, go to Normal mode without triggering the InsertLeave event Ctrl-V is Literalize (key, or decimal, octal, hex or Unicode value) Ctrl-X is Autocomplete (in various ways depending on what comes after) ...and, again, mswin breaks these, replacing them by Copy, Paste and Cut.
