I have used Vim extensively on linux console, I am used to it's keyboard shortcuts, like Ctrl+V for vertical selection, and many others.
I have installed gVim for Windows on my computer at work, and I almost can't use it, as many of keyboard commands were redefined. The Ctrl+V pastes the text from clipboard instead of starting vertical selection for example...
How make gVim work exactly like the default linux console version, possibly with the default gentoo settings?

Both GVim and Vim are the same, the difference is that Gvim offers an interface that doesn't run in a terminal window. Basically, Gvim has GUI-like menus and toolbar. Here are quotes from Quora that provide more information: VIM is designed for using the keyboard efficiently and not for using the mouse.
I run gVim by clicking an icon on my desktop or by using "edit with vim" from the context menu in Windows explorer. Show activity on this post. get the Gvim executable and install on the required system. This worked perfectly for me!
in c:\program files\vim\_vimrc:
" source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim
" behave mswin

Issue the following commands:
set compatible
:mkvimrc!
That will write out a _vimrc that overrules the one in \Program Files\vim
