No. The problem is that Vim is designed to be portable; it works on many operating systems and tries to minimise the amount of special code used for dealing with a particular OS. It's not Ctrl-6, it is Ctrl-^ which is part of the venerable ASCII system. There is a lot more than you want to know at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII If you search for "^^" on that page (Ctrl-^) you will see the list of valid Ctrl keys. I know this news is a bit shocking, but I've found that as I learned more of the Vim way of doing things, my desire to map commands to weird character combinations has declined.
