When you say that other applications see it, are they GUI or
console apps (especially via SSH)? In insert mode, you can try
typing control+V followed by control+; and see if Vim sees the
character. You might also try the same experiment in gvim. I
don't think ctrl+; is a standard key encoding in terminals, so
vim won't likely get a chance to see it to process it.
