Please support the special key `<C-v>` in Insert mode to "insert character literally"

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I sometimes like to insert special characters such as a linefeed character into a file. When using vim, i use the "special keys in insert mode" Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut to insert characters literally.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to be able to insert characters literally using ctrl+v as in vim

Describe alternatives you've considered I'm not aware of any alternatives, do they exist?

Additional context The missing command is listed in the roadmap unter "special keys in insert mode" currently as a low priority item.
