Re: Why I'm not switching to command mode?

After some retries I figure out command that does the thing I want:

snoremap <C-C> <ESC>gv"*ygv<ESC>

Few lessons learned:
1) if vnoremap is used I'm not able to return to command mode for some reason
2) first esc goes to command mode
3) gv restores selection and goes to the visual mode
4) "*y copies selection to windows clipboard
5) second gv<ESC> is used to go to command mode with preserving cursor position.

The question is - could this command be written easier?
