Description

for many vim user, it is familiar with using ctrl + c keymap to escape from any modes.
I'm one of them, and my setting includes next configuration.

mapkey <c-c> <c-[>

but then, escape would activate even when attempting to copy selected text in text box...
is there any way to avoid it?
