Mapping of (key) overrides mapping of ``

Question

I am wondering why I can't use a mapping for <C-)> when a mapping for ) already exists.

:imap shows:

i  )           *@<C-R>=AutoPairsInsert(')')<CR>
i  <C-)>       * )

I expect to be able to press Ctrl + ) and have ) inserted. Instead, my cursor jumps as if I just pressed a an unmodified ) key.

How can I keep my ) mapping and have <C-)> work also?

Can you include the mapping lines from your vimrc? If you have written iremap instead of inoremap you'll have recursively declared the mapping (see here for more) and so ) will expand to the previous ) mapping. If this is the case it may be as simple as making the second mapping declaration inoremap — ljden, Oct 27 '17 at 09:24
@ljden The * in the pasted output indicates that the nore form was used. See :h map-listing. — Rich, Oct 27 '17 at 09:29

The problem comes from my terminal: If I run cat, pressing Ctrl-) and ) give the same output.
