# add your own binding and prevent class bindings from firing:
bind .text <Control-v> {doSomething; break}
bind .text <Control-o> {doSomething; break}

# remove class binding completely:
bind Text <Control-v> {}
bind Text <Control-o> {}

If you want to remove *all* class bindings, remove Text from the
bindtags for the widget.
