eVim - easy Vim - How to make it work on Ubuntu?

Hi,
I have been running Vim for several years and I like it a lot. But recently some of servers where migrated from Windows to headles Linux servers (Ubuntu and openSuse) and now we have Windows users who very rarely have to edit some configuration files. To learn Vim text editor is just a waste of there time. You know between two Vim usage they forget most of the commands.

To solve this problem I have researched eVim program (Vim in eVim mode). I started testing on my Windows 7 PC where is my day to day Vim.exe installed.

So starting Vim in eVim mode from command line:
vim -y myfile

Now Vim becomes eVim (you know dummy insert mode all the time and using classic CTRL+action key like in Notepad for Windows). Now I can use:
CTRL+C to copy text
CTRL+X to cut text
CTRL+V to paste text
SHIFT+arrow_keys to select text
CTRL+A to select whole file
CTRL+S to save a file
CTRL+L to get into command mode and type :q to exit eVim
CTRL+O to get into command mode just for one command and then back to insert mode

All this works fine on Vim for Windows, but does not work at all in Vim for Ubuntu and Suse. All Vim's version are 7.4.

Now the question:
I have logged to Ubuntu 14.04 (also on Suse SLES) server and started the "vim -y myfile" command and CTRL+action commands just don't work.

How to make eVim to work on Ubuntu (or Suse)?

P.S. Bonus question: Is there any quicker way to exit eVim beside CTRL+L and :q ?
Thanks
