In the past I've been able to paste text via ctrl+v when in insert mode. Recently however that shortcut has stopped working.

VS Code version: Code 1.23.0 (7c7da59c2333a1306c41e6e7b68d7f0caa7b3d45, 2018-05-03T16:44:55.614Z)

I enjoyed being able to use Ctrl-v from insert mode to paste.

It worked like this:
if normal mode > C-v = Visual Block Mode
if insert mode > C-v = Paste

Is this a side effect of #2581?

vim.useCtrlKeys:false, now, you can use ctrl + c, ctrl + f, ctrl+d... etc.

Ok but if there's no vim command that conflicts with ctrl+v then I shouldn't need to set vim.useCtrlKeys to false right? If so then this still looks like a bug since ctrl+v doesn't appear to be an implemented vim command in this extension.

ctrl+v is for visual block mode

I want to use paste and visual block at the same time.
So I map:

        {
            "before": [
                "<C-l>"
            ],
            "after": [
                "<C-v>"
            ]
        }

But now C-v cannot paste. And I cannot disable handle C-v because I need visual block.
What can I do?

I am a user of ideavim too. And it can distinguish the original key shot and vim key shot. That may help.

And I also try

        {
            "before": [
                "<C-v>"
            ],
            "after": [
                ""
            ]
            "commands": [
            {
                "command": "editor.action.clipboardPasteAction",
                "args": []
            }
        ]
        }
