vim, Eterm and mouse

[mzq]

Hello,

is there any way to run vim with mouse support on an Eterm?

:set mouse=a

works only on xterms according to the vim manpage.

Thanks in advance.

Since you're in an X environment, why not just use gvim?

Hi, Cabhan, thanks for the prompt answer.

Maybe there is no other solution; I have to decide whether I want mouse support or vim running on a transparent Eterm. Btw, I emerged gvim just now.....

[Cabhan]

Aha! I figured it out!

Run these commands from vim's command mode:

:set ttymouse=xterm
:set mouse=a

That should get it working. If you want those commands executed automatically, add them to your ~/.vimrc.

Enjoy!

Wow, that works! Thank you very much!
