Are you using vim or gvim?

In gvim running on a Red Hat Linux system, I can enter insert mode, 
type Ctrl-K, then hold the Shift key while hitting the space bar and 
see this

   <S-Space>

I can then execute this mapping,

   :namp <S-Space> <C-B>

and it works just fine.

In vim running in an xterm, however, the Ctrl-K Shift-Space sequence 
shows nothing.  Further, while in insert mode, typing Ctrl-V 
followed by a space with the Shift key held down just inserts a 
space.  This demonstrates that xterm doesn't produce a special 
character sequence for the Shift-Space combination, so there's no 
way to use that key combination for a map or anything else.

HTH,
Gary
