My Google skills failed me. I thought this would be an old, well worn question.
In VIM input mode, how do I get <c-v> to be recognized as if I were in Normal mode, i.e. enter visual blockwise mode?
I tried a noremap! <C-v <ESC>:visual block, but that obviously isn't quite the right set of magic words.
NOTE: changed "edit mode" to "insert mode" as suggested by @Explosion's comment.

To enable the Visual block mode in Vim, you have to try out the “Ctrl+V” command within the normal mode.
You can enter insert mode by pressing the i key. Keep in mind that to save your document, you'll need to go back to command mode since only text input is allowed in this mode.
What you want is inoremap, which maps in insert mode. You can just use <C-v> since it is not remapped.
inoremap <C-v> <Esc><C-v>
