Fwd: rebinding C-w

It says its bound to kill-region, but when I select a region and try
to use it a C-w is echoed to the mini-buffer and emacs waits.

What does it show when you do: C-h k C-w

I've found I generally need to look at what's in the
evil-motion-state-map and evil-normal-state-map and make them
consistent.  See evil-maps.el for the stock key bindings.  As
described in evil-core.el: "Normal state inherits bindings from Motion
state".  Thus, you might need to: (define-key evil-motion-state-map
"\C-w" nil)
