You can do magic with .vimrc, but if you use vim, you're probably on some
sort of Unix, and it's less confusing to have your keyboard the same for all
applications.

On  an X-window based system (I can actually only confirm for Gnome)
shortcuts are handled as specified in a file named Compose.  `man Compose`
will tell you where the file is.  The file tells you about all
predefined multikey
sequences, e.g. mine has these lines:

<Multi_key> <less> <minus>      : "←"   U2190 # LEFTWARDS ARROW
<Multi_key> <minus> <greater>   : "→"   U2192 # RIGHTWARDS ARROW
<Multi_key> <equal> <greater>   : "⇒"   U21D2 # RIGHT DOUBLE ARROW
<Multi_key> <less> <equal>      : "⇐"   U21D0 # LEFT DOUBLE ARROW

You need to have specified a Multi key (aka Compose key) somewhere; Gnome
can do it from the settings menu.
