[Question] why `<ctrl><ctrl>` is also activated as `<ctrl>+[any key]`?

[gilbh]

Hi,

It might be something inherent for vim, but when I try the following: inoremap <ctrl><ctrl> to_edi_normal

It is also activated if I press <ctrl>+a or something similar. Is this the expected behavior? Is there someway of avoiding this from happening?

Thanks Gil

Probably because it is interpreted as a <ctrl><ctrl-a> command. It needs to be fixed.

Thanks. I think it would be great. I am still looking for a good key mapping to switch win-vind modes, and <ctrl><ctrl> has the advantage of being non-disruptive to any other program (unlike, say, <esc>). So this would be a great solution.
