vim annoyance (mouse) -- fixed, vimrc goodies?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I love vim, but something has been annoying me lately with it. Turns out at some stage the "treatment" of the mouse changed and it interfered with me being able to easily copy and paste normally from or too the terminal. In case anybody else has been similarly annoyed, there is an easy fix. set mouse= Add that to your vimrc.local or .vimrc files (no quotes) and let your terminal handle your mouse selections as it normally does, avoiding vim interference. Thanks to my son for alerting me to the fix. I'm sure others have all sorts of vimrc settings, some might be interesting and worth sharing. So what do you have? Cheers A. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEAREIAB0WIQTJAoMHtC6YydLfjUOoFmvLt+/i+wUCXHbJUQAKCRCoFmvLt+/i +8OaAP97qCgiG7XSsQSJiEQ854BMXIYyXgjqxOmR9ul5olaBBQD8Cz1N9oEa70ec D3geDNUzKpNAxcJtJwHucOBwPp++Ttw= =0ROX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Hi, I like this setting: set tags=tags\; This neat little trick allows vim to search for files called "tags" backward recursively up the tree until it hits one, and uses that as the "exuberant" ctags file. You run ctags -R in a top level project to index it, then inside vim: You use ctrl-] to jump to the definition of a tag and ctrl-t to pop back to the original position you were editing. (Yes it works across different files and uses a stack of jumps!). Enjoy! Damien
