Gtk vim remove mapping of <C-Y>

I used classic vim, but recently i moved to gtk-vim on ubuntu, but emmet plugin don't working, it is because when I press <C-Y> it copies above char to cursor position, i failed to disable it. When i set unmap or iunmap <C-Y> it writes that there is no maping, also this shortcut is not noted in imap.

EDIT: I find out that i'm unable to imap, when i press any shortcut it just print it out, for instance

map <F2> :echo 'Current time is ' . strftime('%c')<CR>

is working well but

imap <F2> :echo 'Current time is ' . strftime('%c')<CR>

is printing <F2> to text

It looks like you've :set paste, which disables insert mode mappings and abbreviations. This option is meant for pasting text from the terminal (e.g. via middle mouse button); it should only be set during the paste itself, not permanently (and you can easily toggle this via the 'pastetoggle' option).

So, check via :verbose set paste?, then find the place where this is set, and disable it.

PS: Your demo imap needs <C-o> before it; else (if imaps are working, that is), you'd just insert the :echo ... into the buffer.

imap <F2> <C-o>:echo 'Current time is ' . strftime('%c')<CR>
