 Posted: Tue Aug 06, 2024 10:46 am Post subject: Vim default configuration not loaded |
 |
|
Hello
In /etc/vim/vimrc there is a section of code that is like this
| Code: |
" We don't want VIM to load their own built-in defaults, preferring ours here
" instead. This option cannot apply to minimal builds, so it is guarded by a
" test that's guaranteed to fail for those, owing to the lack of +eval.
if 1
let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1
endif
|
Does anybody know why?
I have been using vim via xterm, and I could move to a position with the mouse, and use the mouse scroll button to scroll text. Currently I can not. Is there a way to use mouse scroll in vim (in xterm)?

Strange, I can. Are you sure it's not a problem with your terminal?
Actually the scroll moves the cursor up and down for me. I'm using gnome-terminal.

I was not sure about my terminal.
It turns out that setting termName in ~/.Xresources to xterm-256Color will set the environment variable TERM. No need to change .bashrc and put checks if you are using on the console, or in X11.
| ~/.Xresources: |
...
XTerm*termName: xterm-256color
...
|
And setting mouse=a in your ~/.vimrc resolves the issue.
| ~/.vimrc: |
...
set mouse=a
...
|
This let's you use the mouse to position the cursor, use the scroll button to scroll in the document, and select text.
Edit: Edited for a better solution
Thanks
Regards

I am using good old xterm. For me the document is scrolled, not the cursor. But if you scroll more than one screen the cursor does move to stay on the screen.
