Disable vim automatic visual mode on mouse select | |
issue: :set mouse-=a | |
add to ~/.vimrc: set mouse-=a | |
my ~/.vimrc for preserving global defaults and only changing one option: | |
source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim | |
set mouse-=a |
It still doesn't work as expected. If I change the parameter in /usr/share/vim/vim82/defaults.vim then it is removed after vim update. Changes to /etc/vim/vimrc don't work either. The only solution is to add parameters to ~ /.vimrc for each user. It blows my mind.
to not lose the defaults.vim just put this at the top of your ~/.vimrc
unlet! skip_defaults_vim
source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim
this will survive vim upgrades

If the set mouse=
is not in ~/.vimrc
, then you need another line for it: let skip_defaults_vim=1
in /etc/vim/vimrc
.
This is the most annoying thing, there is no reason for this. Most useless thing, should not be default.
Thanks, you're the OG
If only this worked for IdeaVim. What a pain.
Thank you so much !! ^_^
This way ends with text copied to clipboard with line numbers, Of course if you have one window vertically. Instead I used to this option. JUST HOLD
SHIFT KEY
DURING SELECTING TERMINAL TEXT TO BEHAVE LIKEset mouse-=a
This only works in Xterm AFAIR
thank you so much :-)

Thanks a lot, this is saving life!

In MacOSX with Iterm2, you would use ALT key instead of SHIFT.
On Mac with iterm2, I had to hold down OPTION key.
None of this was working for me without skip_defaults_vim
, which disables other things I wanted. But looking up defaults.vim
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/6c1afa3d0bdfce3ac1197b00409ac1afa7cf368a/runtime/defaults.vim#L80-L81
... the intent of the vim authors is just type :
and visual selection is disabled! That's a start.
then I noticed, near the top of the file, the recommended way to revert settings is :set option&
. So if I use set mouse&
instead of set mouse-=a
now things work as described. VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled May 04 2023 10:24:44)
on debian 11 we're now using the following /etc/vim/vimrc.global to disable the mouse integration by default for all users:
unlet! skip_defaults_vim
source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim
let skip_defaults_vim=1
set mouse&
without @TheSpyder's hint, it didn't work with "set mouse=-a".. so thank you very much :D!
Thank you. The trick is to disable the mouse support for Vim. I achieved this by adding the following to the /etc/vim/vimrc
file.
I had to add syntax on
to enable syntax highlighting.
set mouse=
syntax on
This has helped. Thanks
