Oh I agree 100%. But it'd be even nicer if, when I reflexively hit
CTRL-V, it'd do what one would expect it to do on a Windows machine,

Nicer for you. If it's what you want, take matters into your own hands
and adapt your own environment to your own preferences and leave the
stock environment in the most POSIX- and / or Unix-compliant state feasible.
But that's what he was asking for (see what follows)
So I ask again, is remapping CTRL-V going to cause any problems for
those who
have no desire to enter tabs on the command line?
See. He asked how to remap his Ctrl-v key.
Huh? The question clearly is not a "how to" question. He's asking to have
Cygwin distributed with his preferred mapping in place as the default.
We've already discussed the how of it: Use the ".inputrc" file to supply a
mapping for "paste-from-clipboard" action. I and others showed how to do it
for the "Insert" key.
