How to enter in Visual block Mode in Vim by command

Question

My system has Ctrl + V reserved for the use of the clipboard, so I cannot access to Vim's visual mode by using that combination of buttons. Do you know what is the command such as :VisualBlockModeEnable or something similar to toggle this view?

Also I would like to change the binding in my ~/.vimrc

Thanks

Answer 1

:execute "normal! \<C-v>"

This will enter visual block mode. To remap it use:

:nnoremap X <c-v>
