You seem to be conflating Vim and Terminal.
Vim is just one of the many things you can run in a terminal, and just one of the many things you can do with a terminal.
- johncoltrane 14y agoNo. I know what the difference is between the two. And I know that I never use mouse in one or the other. I don't use it for scrolling, I don't use it for pointing and clicking, I don't use for selecting stuff… REPL? no use for the mouse. htop? no use for the mouse. git/svn/hg? no use for the mouse.
- rplnt 14y agoHow do you select text then? I'm sure there are ways, but they are certainly not intuitive and I've never bothered to look them up since I don't do this task as often.
- johncoltrane 14y agoDo you mean "select text from whatever is displayed in the terminal" or "select text in Vim"? I never select or copy anything from the terminal: pbcopy on the Mac OS X and xclip on Linux are what I use to get stuff from the shell into the system clipboard. I don't think that's what you ask, but in Vim, visual selection is done by hitting v (character-wise), V (line-wise) and Ctrl-v (block-wise) followed by a motion or a text-object: va{, vit and so on.
- rplnt 14y agoYes, I asked about terminal (this whole subthread was about mouse use in terminal). Thanks.
