Not really. He has given a general answer when he is asking you for a
more specific answer (as have several others on this list).

An example would be:

Ctrl-V on gvim does ..., while on vim it does ....

If you can give a few keystrokes that behave differently, we can help
you find out why, and give suggestions for fixing it.

You can try «:verbose map» in your vim/gvim sessions and see if the
keystrokes you are concerned about have been remapped, and which script
remapped it. That might give you enough info to be able to fix it
yourself.

As others have said, in general a keystroke that does something in vim
will do the same thing in gvim, but gvim has some keystrokes that are
not available in vim. A script can easily map specific keystrokes
differently in vim than gvim, and the above "map" command should give
you some clues, if that is the problem.

I don't remember if you said which OS/distribution you are using.
Different distributions have different system-wide default vim
configuration files. This info might also give us a better idea how to
help you.
