Cannot use CTRL-Q in vim which in a PuTTY terminal.

[Sylvia]

Hello,

I am using PuTTY to access a Linux server.
When I start vim on PuTTY terminal and try to use CTRL-Q to select a
block, nothing happens.
It doesn't the same as what I can do in a gvim on my Windows System.

Does anybody have a solutions on this?
Or maybe I should ask in PuTTY's group?

See the block editing is really helpful, I really want it on my PuTTY.
Thanks ahead!!

The block-select shortcut is Ctrl-V, not Ctrl-Q.

Ctrl-V should work unless you had mapped it to something else. If that
is the case, unmap Ctrl-V to let it have the default meaning.

Additionally Ctrl-Q/Ctrl-S are usually flow control codes used in
terminals and may not work every where. You might have to configure your
terminal emulator/screen/vim to make those keys work. You cannot rely
on it.

I believe putty has an option on how to handle xon/xoff.

Yes, I know there is CTRL-V.
On PuTTY, CTRL-V is used to paste. That's why I want CTRL-Q.
I don't know how to configure PuTTY to pass the CTRL-Q to vim. I have tried, but not working.
Does anybody know how to make it work?

Thanks a lot.
According to your key words "xon/xoff", I tried to configure the PuTTY, and fond a "TTY".
In TTY ctrl-q is for "START", so I remap it to ctrl-x.
Now vim working.
Thanks
