My Cygwin installation works fine except when I code in vim, it skips the keys I press, and it happens annoyingly often. I don't seem to have this problem when I am in the bash, but when I start editing a file in vim, it becomes almost intolerable. I am using a remote windows 7 vm (I am not aware of the platform it runs on), but all the other functions work rather well).

What terminal do you use? – Maximus – 2015-11-13T07:25:36.543
The one that comes by default in cygwin. I'm farely sure it's bash. When I run "echo $BASH_VERSION" it gives the following result: 4.3.42(4)-release – Igor – 2015-11-13T13:34:01.627
bash is a shell. I've asked you about terminal. Terminal vs Shell.
– Maximus – 2015-11-13T14:01:43.563Ok, I have no idea what you are talking about. I would think that terminal is the application that lets you connect to the (usually) linux computer and it runs the shell. Example: getty, putty. In my case, I have cygwin which emulates the terminal... so... is the answer you want: cygwin? – Igor – 2015-11-13T18:24:25.003
OK, let me ask you slightly different: What do you start, what executable is contained in shortcut? Few terminal examples: iTerm2, konsole, guake, xterm, mintty. – Maximus – 2015-11-13T18:56:26.613
Ok, so it's mintty. – Igor – 2015-11-13T19:59:15.953
Do you have latest cygwin updates? Try to rollback mintty or vim versions. – Maximus – 2015-11-13T22:54:20.673
Just reinstalled the cygwin entirely. Works fine with no vimrc (i.e., pretty ugly, but fast). So, I'll see if one of vmrc settings causes my problem. Thanks for the advice! – Igor – 2015-11-16T16:33:48.567
