How's that possible?
Thank you for the reply. :-)
Apparently, something in the 920M bytes of my boot file system and/or in
the 8009M bytes of my root file system make it possible.
Are you running a GUI version of vim (gvim?)
No.
instead of running vim in a terminal?
I am running Vim in Terminal.
Or are you using an exotic terminal?
I do not believe so.
If you're using a terminal that isn't xterm, please specify which.
I used the Xfce Panel Preferences dialog to create a Launcher item with
one Terminal Emulator item:
Name: Terminal Emulator
Comment: Use the command line
Command: exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator
Working Directory:
Icon: org.xfce.terminalemulator
Options:
checked Use startup notification
unchecked Run in terminal
I click on the panel icon to start Terminal.
In xterm and urxvt, Ctrl-Shift-v is identical to Ctrl-v ("literal
next"), so there's no way vim can distinguish the two. And yes, I
tested it just to be sure. In both xterm and urxvt, vim, insert > mode,
Ctrl-Shift-v acts exactly like Ctrl-v.
I am seeing similar behavior:

This applies in general to *any* issue that involves exotic key
combinations, because different terminals handle them differently.
Okay.
