but rather is being interpreted as "less-than, en, oh, pee,

last regexp.
Try (untested):
:inoremap <c-u> <c-o><lt>Nop><c-u>
This is the behavior I _see_, but that I understood having "<nop>"
should send a "no-op" keycode. Thus, I had understood the mapping
:inoremap <c-u> <c-o><nop><c-u>
would act like typing "control+O [no-op character that clears the
control-O (insert) mode] control+U". This is the behavior I had expected.
What you propose would act like typing "control+O less-than en oh pee
greater-than control+U". This is the behavior I see.
The i_CTRL-G_u did what I wanted. Thanks though,

A little experimenting shows that <Nop> is only interpreted as do-nothing when
it is the _whole_ {rhs} of the mapping, as in
:map <F6> <Nop>
; and in this case, ":map <F6>" will print the <Nop> in blue (or in whatever
colour your clourscheme assigns to the SpecialKey group). If it is not alone,
as in
:map <F6> <Nop><Nop>
it is displayed in black (or in the "Normal" highlight colour) and means
less-than, N-for-November, o-for-Oscar, p-for-Papa, greater-than.
Best regards,
Tony.
