Oh, I found out why this is confusing me. Turns out if I ssh into a Debian account as root, by default I get mouse=a - so I have to use shift click everywhere, but with my own custom config I have mouse=
# cat /etc/vim/vimrc.local let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1 This is how I solved that problem. Presumably any more specific mouse settings could go into that file instead and will apply when logged in as root or any other user. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
