Usually the Windows key bindings are available in every installation of GVim I’ve played with. Not so on my Mint-ified MacBook. And, yes, I know the traditional vi bindings…I’ve just spent so long outside of vi and in a Windows/Mac universe that the muscle memory is just too damn great to overcome. I’ve spent a year or so trying at this juncture.
So, nice to find this: http://superuser.com/a/10604. How to enable mswin behaviors in GVim. Yay!
