How to use command + V to enter insert mode and copy in Vim?

Question

Is there a method in OS X such that Vim will enter insert mode automatically and copy text, instead of having to enter insert mode first and press command + V? Or more generically, how to map command keys in Vim in OS X? I use command line Vim, not MacVim.

Answer 1

Add this to your vimrc:
nnoremap <cv> p:startinsert!<cr>

This will insert your clipboard content and place the cursor after the inserted text and change to insert mode.

But why you want insert mode altogether? Just press p in normal mode!
