Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vim
vim-gtk and vim-gnome mistakenly convert Control-/ to plain "/", making
it impossible to map Control-/ to anything.
console vim, vim-lesstif, and most other platforms treat Control-/ as
the same as Control-_ (due to terminal legacy). The all other platforms
just pass through Control-/ unmolested.
Here's how to test, expected behavior first, actual behavior second:
- fire up console vim
- hit "i" to enter insert mode
- hit Control-V Control-/. Notice how "^_" is printed. Excellent!
- fire up gvim
- hit "i" to enter insert mode
- hit Control-V Control-/. Notice how "/" is printed. Not good.
This is on stock Karmic, Vim 7.2 patches 1-245.
** Affects: vim (Ubuntu)
