"| This file brings Notepad-like CTRL-ZXCV shortcuts to Vim, while preserving
"| all other Vim shortcuts -- like the CUA-mode does on Emacs:

"| It is based on Bram Molenaar's mswin.vim, g:cua_mode sets the behavior:
"| 0. raw
"| 1. CUA mode = (default) CTRL-ZXCV -- subset of mswin.vim
"| 2. mswin mode = CUA mode + CTRL-ASY -- strict equivalent of mswin.vim
"| 3. Notepad mode = mswin mode + CTRL-QOF -- superset of mswin.vim
