There is no "command" mode in vim. One may think
you are referring to "command-line" mode, but you
seem to be referring to "normal" mode. That's the
mode where h,j,k,l move the cursor around in the
text.

If you don't return to normal mode after your
original command, what mode *are* you in?

Sure.

:vnoremap <c-c> "*y`>
