Have you gotten it to work in other programs in the terminal? ^@ actually maps 
to the null character in Unix (see 
http://www.unix-manuals.com/refs/misc/ascii-table.html), so if you're using 
Cygwin this is in fact the expected behavior. I'm not sure about the Windows 
command line though. Have you tried using gvim?

Thanks !
I found the probleme, it doesn't work when using a keyboard not US. On a french 
keyboard for Ctrl-@ vim keystroke The Ctrl and 2 keys combination it works !
Best regards !
