FAQ

Why doesn’t Ctrl+V enter Visual Block mode in Web Terminal (Luna)?

The Web Terminal (Luna) page is built on xterm.js, and since xterm.js interprets Ctrl + V as a paste command, this shortcut cannot be used to enter Vim’s Visual Block mode.

Vim provides an alternative shortcut, Ctrl + Q, which serves the same purpose and is functionally equivalent to Ctrl + V for entering Visual Block mode.
