[SOLVED] Control+V not recognized by X

I just installed Arch on my laptop yesterday (HP 8510w) but an interesting problem has popped up, Control+V doesn't work.

showkey recognises the keypress 29 (Control_L) and 46 (v), both separately and simultaneously. However, xev will only recognize them when pressed separately. So I think the issue lies with X configuration. Does anyone have a clue on how to fix this?

X11 config files

EDIT: Accidentily pressed control+V from habit and it submitted prematurely

EDIT 2: Okay, I solved it... stupid me, I shouldn't configure my computer at 2am. Anyway, I bound KeePassX autofill to the Control+V shortcut which prevented normal operation of this shortcut. Apologies for the clutter
