How's that possible? Are you running a GUI version of vim (gvim?)
instead of running vim in a terminal? Or are you using an exotic
terminal?
Are you considering any vte-based terminal as an exotic one? GNOME
terminal, konsole, lxterminal, and others... They have [Ctrl+Shift+v]
hotkey out of the box in addition to [Insert]-based ones.
As to + and * registers. What kind of vim do you use? At least vim-gtk3
provides console vim binary built with x11 support. Perhaps it is
+xterm_clipboard option.
