Indeed. Alternately, to insert the clipboard (register +) at the cursor
in Insert mode, you could also use Ctrl-R + (see ":help i_CTRL-R"), so
the following would also work:
imap <C-V> <C-R>+
However, if you use <C-V> as the {lhs} of _any_ Insert-mode mapping, be
aware that whenever you're told to use Ctrl-V in Insert or Command-line
modes to enter a character code either literally or by its decimal,
octal or hex value (see ":help i_CTRL-V" and ":help i_CTRL-V_digit),
you'll have to use Ctrl-Q instead, which might not work if you're in
Console mode in a terminal which uses Xon/Xoff pause & restart.
Best regards,
Tony.
