I am trying to map Ctrl + q to quit editing the file. I added the below line to my .vimrc

 nnoremap <C-q> :execute "q"<CR>

On pressing the above key combination, nothing happens, vim doesn't quit. No Error, no message.

Can you please help me figure out what is wrong with this setting?

EDIT: My vimrc file is https://gist.github.com/mdtareque/9d28c7b63b2b77d15679374a8dfbad20

I see no effect of pressing <C-q>, probably something is conflicting with existing setup/plugins. Above is my vimrc, almost all settings are being used.

Output of verbose map <C-q> is Last set from ~/.vimrc

FYI. I am on ubuntu 15.10, and

$ vim -version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Oct 21 2015 12:30:04)
