Ctrl + V and Ctrl + C doesn't work in Intellij IDEA 14.0.2

I had this problem and it was driving me absolutely insane.

If you want to keep using the vim plugin, and have ^c and ^v work for copy / paste like it does in other applications, then you need to go to your settings, and select Other Settings / Vim Emulation (as shown below).... Then make sure that both ^c and ^v are set to be handled by the IDE (not Vim!) and everything should work fine.

1. You can disable vim from the tools menu (instead of uninstalling it)
2. For those who actually use vim (which is awesome) - there is an issue with copying from the run console and other outputs (this is how I stumbled onto this question), ctrl-c doesn't work there. The issue is that vim is wrapping those panels too, so you can just highlight and press 'y' :)

From File -> Settings -> Plugins search for ideavim plugin. When found click on it. On the right panel you will see an Uninstall button. If you click it, you can uninstall the plugin without uninstalling all of IntelliJ IDEA.
