I'm using vim in Windows 7 via Start -> (search for) vim.
When I key in Ctrl+Y, I get "Already at newest change". Is there an
alternative binding, or what can I do?
Sounds to me like you have some default vimrc that came with your Vim that has
mapped a few keys to be more Windows-like, e.g. Ctrl-Y for Redo (and probably
Ctrl-Z for undo, Ctrl-V for paste, etc.).

Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to, within Vim, issue
:e $MYVIMRC
and remove the nasty command(s) in there that are trying to make it
Windows-friendly. You can comment out a line of Vimscript by putting a double
quote character at the beginning of it ("), or you can exit the whole script
early
by putting a finish command somewhere (just "finish" alone on a line, without
quotes).

Thanks for the prompts.
I went into $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim and commented out the mapping of CTRL
+Y.

You should not have changed anything in $VIMRUNTIME, the next update (or
the one after that) may undo your changes with no warning.
The thing to do is to make sure that mswin.vim is not sourced:
- If it is invoked from your vimrc, comment away that line
- If there is a "system vimrc" put there by your sysadmin or someone,
and out of your control (look near the middle of the ":version" text to
see where your Vim looks for a system vimrc, and/or check near the top
of the output of ":scriptnames" for what was sourced before mswin.vim),
then I suppose you will have to add to your vimrc something like
" Restore Vim Insert-mode key bindings masked by mswin.vim
" redo is Normal-mode Ctrl-R
unmap! <C-Y>
" undo is Normal-mode u
unmap! <C-Z>
" yank (copy) is Normal-mode y{motion} or Visual-mode y
unmap! <C-C>
" put (paste) is Normal-mode p or P
unmap! <C-V>
" delete (cut) is Normal-mode d{motion} or Visual-mode d
unmap! <C-X>
You may or may not want to override the ":behave mswin" statement that
that script uses. Personally I feel more comfortable with
" behave custom-mode
set selection=inclusive selectmode=key,mouse
set keymodel=startsel mousemodel=popup
which IMHO is a good compromise between ":behave xterm" and ":behave
mswin" -- of course, YMMV.
Best regards,
Tony.
