map global insert <c-c> does not work

[vbauerster]

Following map does not work in insert mode:

map global insert '<c-c>' '<a-;>'

however this one works:

map global insert '<c-y>' '<a-;>'

Basically, any key that can't be inserted via Ctrl+v Key can not be mapped.

Is it limitation of ncurses? Though it won't help, but in neovim I was able to map <c-c> in insert mode.

There were some discussions about handling inputs, you may find interesting these particular ones:
#2554
#2209

AFAIK Neovim uses libtermkey to handle input.

I don't understand the meaning of this, since for me <c-v> <c-c> yields ^C.

Where? In the shell - sure is, in Kakoune insert mode it is not. Well, at least for me.
