vim-gui enables Vim's built-in support for mouse, clipboard, etc
|
|

|
|
To update (replacing the current version) run `webi vim-gui`.
|
|
|
|
## Cheat Sheet
|
|
|
|
Vim has built-in GUI support.
|
|
|
|
It is turned off by default and when turned on may not behave exactly as
|
|
expected.
|
|
|
|
This vim-gui plugin turns on mouse support with insert mode on click,
|
|
select-to-copy clipboard, and other GUI options.
|
|
|
|
### How to configure manually
|
|
|
|
Create the file `~/.vim/plugins/gui.vim`. Add the same contents as
|
|
<https://github.com/webinstall/webi-installers/blob/master/vim-gui/gui.vim>.
|
|
|
|
That will look something like this:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
" turn on mouse support
|
|
set mouse=a
|
|
|
|
" keep copy-on-select and other GUI options
|
|
set clipboard+=autoselect guioptions+=a
|
|
|
|
" enter insert mode on left-click
|
|
nnoremap <LeftMouse> <LeftMouse>i
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll then need to update `~/.vimrc` to source that plugin:
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
" Mouse Support: reasonable defaults from webinstall.dev/vim-gui
|
|
source ~/.vim/plugins/gui.vim
|
|
```
