gVim is hard; I just want to type ctrl-v to enter blockwise Visual mode. I normally use vim on the command line, but a lot of my coworkers use gVim on Windows.

I normally use vim on the command line, but a lot of my coworkers use gVim on Windows. Whenever I try to help one of them out, I can't stand the fact that ctrl-v is remapped to paste by default. I recently found out how to make gVim sane again. In _vimrc, comment-out the following lines:
behave mswin
source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim
- kaneo 15y agoOn Windows, ctrl+q will get you the Visual Block selection. EDIT: I think it also works on Linux... Sitting on my Windows box, at the moment, so I can't test it.
- splicer 15y agoIt does (both on Windows and Linux), but gVim still uses v and V for the other two Visual modes, rather than q and Q. It drives me nuts!
