How's that possible? Are you running a GUI version of vim (gvim?)
instead of running vim in a terminal? Or are you using an exotic
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.
If you're using a terminal that isn't xterm, please specify which.
This applies in general to *any* issue that involves exotic key
combinations, because different terminals handle them differently.
