title: VIM Custom arrow key mappings not working with window switching?
body: <p>I've been trying to create a shortcut for switching between open window splits in vim, rather than having to use ctrl+w+[arrowkey] I would prefer to just be able to use ctrl+[arrow keys].</p>
  
  <p>This is what I currently have in my vimrc:</p>
  
  <pre><code>map &lt;silent&gt; &lt;C-v&gt; &lt;c-w&gt;v
  map &lt;silent&gt; &lt;C-Left&gt; &lt;c-w&gt;h
  map &lt;silent&gt; &lt;C-Down&gt; &lt;c-w&gt;j
  map &lt;silent&gt; &lt;C-Up&gt; &lt;c-w&gt;k
  map &lt;silent&gt; &lt;C-Right&gt; &lt;c-w&gt;l
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The first shortcut for doing the vsplit works fine, however none of the others work. I've tried several variations of this and yet none of them do anything.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using standard debian wheezy with KDE, vim is running from konsole and the only plugins I have installed are NERDTree and Airline.</p>
  
  <p>I'm hoping someone can help provide a solution because I've been searching online for hours and trying hundreds of options and nothing seems to make any difference.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT
  verbatim insert for the shortcuts doesn't output anything at all, neither in shell or vim. </p>
