I want to remap Ctrl-] which is used for jumping to the tags to another key binding.
These mappings work:
:map <F2> <C-]>
:map <A-1> <C-]>
But this mapping doesn't work:
:map <C-1> <C-]>
What might be the reason for this?

A:
It might be getting trapped/filtered by your OS. If you check the mappings, is it listed?

Yes I can see it in the mappings list.

A:
I believe the problem is that Ctrl+1 is not a valid ASCII character. From this list
(search for "^^" or "^@" to see the table )
you will see that there are several keybindings such as ctrl+@ Ctrl+^ and Ctrl+]
so you are not actually calling Ctrl+2 or Ctrl+6 but their ASCII equivalents.
VIM is designed to be lightweight and fairly platform independent. so if it isn't in the list of ASCII characters you cannot make a binding to it.

I tried <C-,> and other symbols as well. I cannot map them neither.
