    Thumbs down VIM config: mouse support AND x-windows copy & paste

    With "mouse=a" in .vimrc I use the mouse scroll button to cruise through my files, and left clicking to jump locations.

    Without "mouse=a" in .vimrc I enjoy traditional x-windows copy and paste features (highlight and middle click).

    I would like the best of both worlds. Anyone know how to have mouse function in vim without losing x-windows function? Thanks in advance.

    you can manually map the mouse keys with :map <mousebutton> <command>, so to scroll down just add :map <MouseDown> <C-Y> to your .vimrc. This was you can set the mouse to exactly how you want it to work.

    You will really fly then
