I don't think ctrl-v does anything in Emacs. Not completely sure about vi, but I think nothing happens there either. (By default, that is)

    In vim it invokes vertical visual selection (visual block mode)

    Oh, right, it selects a rectangle, is that it?

    I never really used that, it's not a very common command. Maybe for tabulated data, but that's not something I'd edit with vi... (or vim, nowadays)
