7 Terminal information *terminal-info* | |
8 | |
9 Vim uses information about the terminal you are using to fill the screen and | |
10 recognize what keys you hit. If this information is not correct, the screen | |
11 may be messed up or keys may not be recognized. The actions which have to be | |
12 performed on the screen are accomplished by outputting a string of | |
13 characters. Special keys produce a string of characters. These strings are | |
14 stored in the terminal options, see |terminal-options|. | |
15 | |
16 NOTE: Most of this is not used when running the |GUI|. | |

23 | |
24 ============================================================================== | |
25 1. Startup *startup-terminal* | |
26 | |
27 When Vim is started a default terminal type is assumed. For the Amiga this is | |
28 a standard CLI window, for MS-DOS the pc terminal, for Unix an ansi terminal. | |
29 A few other terminal types are always available, see below |builtin-terms|. | |
30 | |
31 You can give the terminal name with the '-T' Vim argument. If it is not given | |
32 Vim will try to get the name from the TERM environment variable. | |
33 | |
34 *termcap* *terminfo* *E557* *E558* *E559* | |
35 On Unix the terminfo database or termcap file is used. This is referred to as | |
36 "termcap" in all the documentation. At compile time, when running configure, | |
37 the choice whether to use terminfo or termcap is done automatically. When | |
38 running Vim the output of ":version" will show |+terminfo| if terminfo is | |
39 used. Also see |xterm-screens|. | |
40 | |
41 On non-Unix systems a termcap is only available if Vim was compiled with | |
42 TERMCAP defined. | |
43 | |
44 *builtin-terms* *builtin_terms* | |
45 Which builtin terminals are available depends on a few defines in feature.h, | |
46 which need to be set at compile time: | |
47 define output of ":version" terminals builtin ~ | |
48 NO_BUILTIN_TCAPS -builtin_terms none | |
49 SOME_BUILTIN_TCAPS +builtin_terms most common ones (default) | |
50 ALL_BUILTIN_TCAPS ++builtin_terms all available | |
51 | |
52 You can see a list of available builtin terminals with ":set term=xxx" (when | |
53 not running the GUI). Also see |+builtin_terms|. | |
54 | |
55 If the termcap code is included Vim will try to get the strings for the | |
56 terminal you are using from the termcap file and the builtin termcaps. Both | |
57 are always used, if an entry for the terminal you are using is present. Which | |
58 one is used first depends on the 'ttybuiltin' option: | |
59 | |
60 'ttybuiltin' on 1: builtin termcap 2: external termcap | |
61 'ttybuiltin' off 1: external termcap 2: builtin termcap | |
62 | |
63 If an option is missing in one of them, it will be obtained from the other | |
64 one. If an option is present in both, the one first encountered is used. | |
65 | |
66 Which external termcap file is used varies from system to system and may | |
67 depend on the environment variables "TERMCAP" and "TERMPATH". See "man | |
68 tgetent". | |
69 | |
70 Settings depending on terminal *term-dependent-settings* | |
71 | |
72 If you want to set options or mappings, depending on the terminal name, you | |
73 can do this best in your .vimrc. Example: > | |
74 | |
75 if &term == "xterm" | |
76 ... xterm maps and settings ... | |
77 elseif &term =~ "vt10." | |
78 ... vt100, vt102 maps and settings ... | |
79 endif | |
80 < | |
81 *raw-terminal-mode* | |
82 For normal editing the terminal will be put into "raw" mode. The strings | |
83 defined with 't_ti' and 't_ks' will be sent to the terminal. Normally this | |
84 puts the terminal in a state where the termcap codes are valid and activates | |
85 the cursor and function keys. When Vim exits the terminal will be put back | |
86 into the mode it was before Vim started. The strings defined with 't_te' and | |
87 't_ke' will be sent to the terminal. On the Amiga, with commands that execute | |
88 an external command (e.g., "!!"), the terminal will be put into Normal mode | |
89 for a moment. This means that you can stop the output to the screen by | |
90 hitting a printing key. Output resumes when you hit <BS>. | |

14123 | 114 If your terminal supports bracketed paste, but the options are not set |
115 automatically, you can try using something like this: > | |
116 | |
117 if &term =~ "screen" | |
118 let &t_BE = "\e[?2004h" | |
119 let &t_BD = "\e[?2004l" | |
120 exec "set t_PS=\e[200~" | |
121 exec "set t_PE=\e[201~" | |
122 endif | |
123 < | |
7 | 124 *cs7-problem* |
125 Note: If the terminal settings are changed after running Vim, you might have | |
126 an illegal combination of settings. This has been reported on Solaris 2.5 | |
127 with "stty cs8 parenb", which is restored as "stty cs7 parenb". Use | |
128 "stty cs8 -parenb -istrip" instead, this is restored correctly. | |
129 | |
130 Some termcap entries are wrong in the sense that after sending 't_ks' the | |
131 cursor keys send codes different from the codes defined in the termcap. To | |
132 avoid this you can set 't_ks' (and 't_ke') to empty strings. This must be | |
133 done during initialization (see |initialization|), otherwise it's too late. | |
134 | |
135 Some termcap entries assume that the highest bit is always reset. For | |
136 example: The cursor-up entry for the Amiga could be ":ku=\E[A:". But the | |
137 Amiga really sends "\233A". This works fine if the highest bit is reset, | |
138 e.g., when using an Amiga over a serial line. If the cursor keys don't work, | |
139 try the entry ":ku=\233A:". | |
140 | |
141 Some termcap entries have the entry ":ku=\E[A:". But the Amiga really sends | |
142 "\233A". On output "\E[" and "\233" are often equivalent, on input they | |
143 aren't. You will have to change the termcap entry, or change the key code with | |
144 the :set command to fix this. | |
145 | |
146 Many cursor key codes start with an <Esc>. Vim must find out if this is a | |
147 single hit of the <Esc> key or the start of a cursor key sequence. It waits | |
148 for a next character to arrive. If it does not arrive within one second a | |
149 single <Esc> is assumed. On very slow systems this may fail, causing cursor | |
150 keys not to work sometimes. If you discover this problem reset the 'timeout' | |
151 option. Vim will wait for the next character to arrive after an <Esc>. If | |
152 you want to enter a single <Esc> you must type it twice. Resetting the | |
153 'esckeys' option avoids this problem in Insert mode, but you lose the | |
154 possibility to use cursor and function keys in Insert mode. | |
155 | |
156 On the Amiga the recognition of window resizing is activated only when the | |
157 terminal name is "amiga" or "builtin_amiga". | |
158 | |
159 Some terminals have confusing codes for the cursor keys. The televideo 925 is | |
160 such a terminal. It sends a CTRL-H for cursor-left. This would make it | |
161 impossible to distinguish a backspace and cursor-left. To avoid this problem | |
162 CTRL-H is never recognized as cursor-left. | |
163 | |
164 *vt100-cursor-keys* *xterm-cursor-keys* | |
165 Other terminals (e.g., vt100 and xterm) have cursor keys that send <Esc>OA, | |
166 <Esc>OB, etc. Unfortunately these are valid commands in insert mode: Stop | |
167 insert, Open a new line above the new one, start inserting 'A', 'B', etc. | |
168 Instead of performing these commands Vim will erroneously recognize this typed | |
169 key sequence as a cursor key movement. To avoid this and make Vim do what you | |
170 want in either case you could use these settings: > | |
171 :set notimeout " don't timeout on mappings | |
172 :set ttimeout " do timeout on terminal key codes | |
173 :set timeoutlen=100 " timeout after 100 msec | |
1621 | 174 This requires the key-codes to be sent within 100 msec in order to recognize |
7 | 175 them as a cursor key. When you type you normally are not that fast, so they |
176 are recognized as individual typed commands, even though Vim receives the same | |
177 sequence of bytes. | |
178 | |
179 *vt100-function-keys* *xterm-function-keys* | |
180 An xterm can send function keys F1 to F4 in two modes: vt100 compatible or | |
179 | 181 not. Because Vim may not know what the xterm is sending, both types of keys |
7 | 182 are recognized. The same happens for the <Home> and <End> keys. |
183 normal vt100 ~ | |
184 <F1> t_k1 <Esc>[11~ <xF1> <Esc>OP *<xF1>-xterm* | |
185 <F2> t_k2 <Esc>[12~ <xF2> <Esc>OQ *<xF2>-xterm* | |
186 <F3> t_k3 <Esc>[13~ <xF3> <Esc>OR *<xF3>-xterm* | |
187 <F4> t_k4 <Esc>[14~ <xF4> <Esc>OS *<xF4>-xterm* | |
188 <Home> t_kh <Esc>[7~ <xHome> <Esc>OH *<xHome>-xterm* | |
189 <End> t_@7 <Esc>[4~ <xEnd> <Esc>OF *<xEnd>-xterm* | |
190 | |
191 When Vim starts, <xF1> is mapped to <F1>, <xF2> to <F2> etc. This means that | |
192 by default both codes do the same thing. If you make a mapping for <xF2>, | |
193 because your terminal does have two keys, the default mapping is overwritten, | |
194 thus you can use the <F2> and <xF2> keys for something different. | |
195 | |
196 *xterm-shifted-keys* | |
197 Newer versions of xterm support shifted function keys and special keys. Vim | |
198 recognizes most of them. Use ":set termcap" to check which are supported and | |
199 what the codes are. Mostly these are not in a termcap, they are only | |
200 supported by the builtin_xterm termcap. | |
201 | |
179 | 202 *xterm-modifier-keys* |
203 Newer versions of xterm support Alt and Ctrl for most function keys. To avoid | |
204 having to add all combinations of Alt, Ctrl and Shift for every key a special | |
205 sequence is recognized at the end of a termcap entry: ";*X". The "X" can be | |
206 any character, often '~' is used. The ";*" stands for an optional modifier | |
207 argument. ";2" is Shift, ";3" is Alt, ";5" is Ctrl and ";9" is Meta (when | |
208 it's different from Alt). They can be combined. Examples: > | |
209 :set <F8>=^[[19;*~ | |
210 :set <Home>=^[[1;*H | |
211 Another speciality about these codes is that they are not overwritten by | |
212 another code. That is to avoid that the codes obtained from xterm directly | |
213 |t_RV| overwrite them. | |
7 | 214 *xterm-scroll-region* |
215 The default termcap entry for xterm on Sun and other platforms does not | |
216 contain the entry for scroll regions. Add ":cs=\E[%i%d;%dr:" to the xterm | |
217 entry in /etc/termcap and everything should work. | |
218 | |
219 *xterm-end-home-keys* | |
220 On some systems (at least on FreeBSD with XFree86 3.1.2) the codes that the | |
221 <End> and <Home> keys send contain a <Nul> character. To make these keys send | |
222 the proper key code, add these lines to your ~/.Xdefaults file: | |
223 | |
224 *VT100.Translations: #override \n\ | |
225 <Key>Home: string("0x1b") string("[7~") \n\ | |
226 <Key>End: string("0x1b") string("[8~") | |
227 | |
228 *xterm-8bit* *xterm-8-bit* | |
229 Xterm can be run in a mode where it uses 8-bit escape sequences. The CSI code | |
230 is used instead of <Esc>[. The advantage is that an <Esc> can quickly be | |
231 recognized in Insert mode, because it can't be confused with the start of a | |
232 special key. | |
233 For the builtin termcap entries, Vim checks if the 'term' option contains | |
234 "8bit" anywhere. It then uses 8-bit characters for the termcap entries, the | |
235 mouse and a few other things. You would normally set $TERM in your shell to | |
236 "xterm-8bit" and Vim picks this up and adjusts to the 8-bit setting | |
237 automatically. | |
238 When Vim receives a response to the |t_RV| (request version) sequence and it | |
239 starts with CSI, it assumes that the terminal is in 8-bit mode and will | |
240 convert all key sequences to their 8-bit variants. | |
241 | |
242 ============================================================================== | |
667 | 243 2. Terminal options *terminal-options* *termcap-options* *E436* |
7 | 244 |
245 The terminal options can be set just like normal options. But they are not | |
246 shown with the ":set all" command. Instead use ":set termcap". | |
247 | |
248 It is always possible to change individual strings by setting the | |
249 appropriate option. For example: > | |
250 :set t_ce=^V^[[K (CTRL-V, <Esc>, [, K) | |
251 | |
252 {Vi: no terminal options. You have to exit Vi, edit the termcap entry and | |
253 try again} | |
254 | |
255 The options are listed below. The associated termcap code is always equal to | |
256 the last two characters of the option name. Only one termcap code is | |
257 required: Cursor motion, 't_cm'. | |
258 | |
6602 | 259 The options 't_da', 't_db', 't_ms', 't_xs', 't_xn' represent flags in the |
260 termcap. When the termcap flag is present, the option will be set to "y". | |
261 But any non-empty string means that the flag is set. An empty string means | |
262 that the flag is not set. 't_CS' works like this too, but it isn't a termcap | |
263 flag. | |
7 | 264 |

473 Note about t_so and t_mr: When the termcap entry "so" is not present the | |
474 entry for "mr" is used. And vice versa. The same is done for "se" and "me". | |
475 If your terminal supports both inversion and standout mode, you can see two | |
476 different modes. If your terminal supports only one of the modes, both will | |
477 look the same. | |
478 | |
33 | 479 *keypad-comma* |
7 | 480 The keypad keys, when they are not mapped, behave like the equivalent normal |
33 | 481 key. There is one exception: if you have a comma on the keypad instead of a |
482 decimal point, Vim will use a dot anyway. Use these mappings to fix that: > | |
483 :noremap <kPoint> , | |
484 :noremap! <kPoint> , | |
485 < *xterm-codes* | |
7 | 486 There is a special trick to obtain the key codes which currently only works |
487 for xterm. When |t_RV| is defined and a response is received which indicates | |
488 an xterm with patchlevel 141 or higher, Vim uses special escape sequences to | |
489 request the key codes directly from the xterm. The responses are used to | |
490 adjust the various t_ codes. This avoids the problem that the xterm can | |
491 produce different codes, depending on the mode it is in (8-bit, VT102, | |
492 VT220, etc.). The result is that codes like <xF1> are no longer needed. | |
493 Note: This is only done on startup. If the xterm options are changed after | |
6530 | 494 Vim has started, the escape sequences may not be recognized anymore. |

7 | 532 *termcap-colors* |
533 Note about colors: The 't_Co' option tells Vim the number of colors available. | |
534 When it is non-zero, the 't_AB' and 't_AF' options are used to set the color. | |
535 If one of these is not available, 't_Sb' and 't_Sf' are used. 't_me' is used | |
536 to reset to the default colors. | |
537 | |
36 | 538 *termcap-cursor-shape* *termcap-cursor-color* |
6727 | 539 When Vim enters Insert mode the 't_SI' escape sequence is sent. When Vim |
540 enters Replace mode the 't_SR' escape sequence is sent if it is set, otherwise | |
541 't_SI' is sent. When leaving Insert mode or Replace mode 't_EI' is used. This | |
542 can be used to change the shape or color of the cursor in Insert or Replace | |
543 mode. These are not standard termcap/terminfo entries, you need to set them | |
544 yourself. | |
36 | 545 Example for an xterm, this changes the color of the cursor: > |
546 if &term =~ "xterm" | |
547 let &t_SI = "\<Esc>]12;purple\x7" | |
6727 | 548 let &t_SR = "\<Esc>]12;red\x7" |
36 | 549 let &t_EI = "\<Esc>]12;blue\x7" |
550 endif | |
551 NOTE: When Vim exits the shape for Normal mode will remain. The shape from | |
552 before Vim started will not be restored. | |

553 {not available when compiled without the |+cursorshape| feature} |
36 | 554 |
7 | 555 *termcap-title* |
556 The 't_ts' and 't_fs' options are used to set the window title if the terminal | |
557 allows title setting via sending strings. They are sent before and after the | |
558 title string, respectively. Similar 't_IS' and 't_IE' are used to set the | |
559 icon text. These are Vim-internal extensions of the Unix termcap, so they | |
560 cannot be obtained from an external termcap. However, the builtin termcap | |
561 contains suitable entries for xterm and iris-ansi, so you don't need to set | |
562 them here. | |
563 *hpterm* | |
564 If inversion or other highlighting does not work correctly, try setting the | |
565 't_xs' option to a non-empty string. This makes the 't_ce' code be used to | |
566 remove highlighting from a line. This is required for "hpterm". Setting the | |
567 'weirdinvert' option has the same effect as making 't_xs' non-empty, and vice | |
568 versa. | |
569 | |
570 *scroll-region* | |
571 Some termcaps do not include an entry for 'cs' (scroll region), although the | |
572 terminal does support it. For example: xterm on a Sun. You can use the | |
573 builtin_xterm or define t_cs yourself. For example: > | |
574 :set t_cs=^V^[[%i%d;%dr | |
575 Where ^V is CTRL-V and ^[ is <Esc>. | |
576 | |
577 The vertical scroll region t_CV is not a standard termcap code. Vim uses it | |
578 internally in the GUI. But it can also be defined for a terminal, if you can | |
579 find one that supports it. The two arguments are the left and right column of | |
580 the region which to restrict the scrolling to. Just like t_cs defines the top | |
581 and bottom lines. Defining t_CV will make scrolling in vertically split | |
582 windows a lot faster. Don't set t_CV when t_da or t_db is set (text isn't | |
583 cleared when scrolling). | |
584 | |
585 Unfortunately it is not possible to deduce from the termcap how cursor | |
586 positioning should be done when using a scrolling region: Relative to the | |
587 beginning of the screen or relative to the beginning of the scrolling region. | |
588 Most terminals use the first method. A known exception is the MS-DOS console | |
589 (pcterm). The 't_CS' option should be set to any string when cursor | |
590 positioning is relative to the start of the scrolling region. It should be | |
591 set to an empty string otherwise. It defaults to "yes" when 'term' is | |
592 "pcterm". | |
593 | |
594 Note for xterm users: The shifted cursor keys normally don't work. You can | |
595 make them work with the xmodmap command and some mappings in Vim. | |
596 | |
597 Give these commands in the xterm: | |
598 xmodmap -e "keysym Up = Up F13" | |
599 xmodmap -e "keysym Down = Down F16" | |
600 xmodmap -e "keysym Left = Left F18" | |
601 xmodmap -e "keysym Right = Right F19" | |
602 | |
603 And use these mappings in Vim: | |
604 :map <t_F3> <S-Up> | |
605 :map! <t_F3> <S-Up> | |
606 :map <t_F6> <S-Down> | |
607 :map! <t_F6> <S-Down> | |
608 :map <t_F8> <S-Left> | |
609 :map! <t_F8> <S-Left> | |
610 :map <t_F9> <S-Right> | |
611 :map! <t_F9> <S-Right> | |
612 | |
613 Instead of, say, <S-Up> you can use any other command that you want to use the | |
614 shift-cursor-up key for. (Note: To help people that have a Sun keyboard with | |
615 left side keys F14 is not used because it is confused with the undo key; F15 | |
616 is not used, because it does a window-to-front; F17 is not used, because it | |
617 closes the window. On other systems you can probably use them.) | |
618 | |
619 ============================================================================== | |
620 3. Window size *window-size* | |
621 | |
622 [This is about the size of the whole window Vim is using, not a window that is | |
623 created with the ":split" command.] | |
624 | |
625 If you are running Vim on an Amiga and the terminal name is "amiga" or | |
626 "builtin_amiga", the amiga-specific window resizing will be enabled. On Unix | |
627 systems three methods are tried to get the window size: | |
628 | |
629 - an ioctl call (TIOCGSIZE or TIOCGWINSZ, depends on your system) | |
630 - the environment variables "LINES" and "COLUMNS" | |
631 - from the termcap entries "li" and "co" | |
632 | |
633 If everything fails a default size of 24 lines and 80 columns is assumed. If | |
634 a window-resize signal is received the size will be set again. If the window | |
635 size is wrong you can use the 'lines' and 'columns' options to set the | |
636 correct values. | |
637 | |
638 One command can be used to set the screen size: | |

654 ============================================================================== | |
655 4. Slow and fast terminals *slow-fast-terminal* | |
656 *slow-terminal* | |
657 | |
658 If you have a fast terminal you may like to set the 'ruler' option. The | |
659 cursor position is shown in the status line. If you are using horizontal | |
660 scrolling ('wrap' option off) consider setting 'sidescroll' to a small | |
661 number. | |
662 | |
663 If you have a slow terminal you may want to reset the 'showcmd' option. | |
664 The command characters will not be shown in the status line. If the terminal | |
665 scrolls very slowly, set the 'scrolljump' to 5 or so. If the cursor is moved | |
666 off the screen (e.g., with "j") Vim will scroll 5 lines at a time. Another | |
667 possibility is to reduce the number of lines that Vim uses with the command | |
668 "z{height}<CR>". | |
669 | |
670 If the characters from the terminal are arriving with more than 1 second | |
671 between them you might want to set the 'timeout' and/or 'ttimeout' option. | |
672 See the "Options" chapter |options|. | |
673 | |
674 If your terminal does not support a scrolling region, but it does support | |
675 insert/delete line commands, scrolling with multiple windows may make the | |
676 lines jump up and down. If you don't want this set the 'ttyfast' option. | |
677 This will redraw the window instead of scroll it. | |
678 | |
679 If your terminal scrolls very slowly, but redrawing is not slow, set the | |
680 'ttyscroll' option to a small number, e.g., 3. This will make Vim redraw the | |
681 screen instead of scrolling, when there are more than 3 lines to be scrolled. | |
682 | |
683 If you are using a color terminal that is slow, use this command: > | |
684 hi NonText cterm=NONE ctermfg=NONE | |
685 This avoids that spaces are sent when they have different attributes. On most | |
686 terminals you can't see this anyway. | |
687 | |
688 If you are using Vim over a slow serial line, you might want to try running | |
689 Vim inside the "screen" program. Screen will optimize the terminal I/O quite | |
690 a bit. | |
691 | |
692 If you are testing termcap options, but you cannot see what is happening, | |
693 you might want to set the 'writedelay' option. When non-zero, one character | |
694 is sent to the terminal at a time (does not work for MS-DOS). This makes the | |
695 screen updating a lot slower, making it possible to see what is happening. | |
696 | |
697 ============================================================================== | |
698 5. Using the mouse *mouse-using* | |
699 | |
700 This section is about using the mouse on a terminal or a terminal window. How | |
701 to use the mouse in a GUI window is explained in |gui-mouse|. For scrolling | |
702 with a mouse wheel see |scroll-mouse-wheel|. | |

704 Don't forget to enable the mouse with this command: > |
7 | 705 :set mouse=a |
706 Otherwise Vim won't recognize the mouse in all modes (See 'mouse'). | |
707 | |
1621 | 708 Currently the mouse is supported for Unix in an xterm window, in a *BSD |
709 console with |sysmouse|, in a Linux console (with GPM |gpm-mouse|), for | |
710 MS-DOS and in a Windows console. | |
7 | 711 Mouse clicks can be used to position the cursor, select an area and paste. |
712 | |
713 These characters in the 'mouse' option tell in which situations the mouse will | |
714 be used by Vim: | |
715 n Normal mode | |
716 v Visual mode | |
717 i Insert mode | |
718 c Command-line mode | |
719 h all previous modes when in a help file | |
720 a all previous modes | |
721 r for |hit-enter| prompt | |
722 | |
723 The default for 'mouse' is empty, the mouse is not used. Normally you would | |
724 do: > | |
725 :set mouse=a | |
726 to start using the mouse (this is equivalent to setting 'mouse' to "nvich"). | |
727 If you only want to use the mouse in a few modes or also want to use it for | |
728 the two questions you will have to concatenate the letters for those modes. | |
729 For example: > | |
730 :set mouse=nv | |
731 Will make the mouse work in Normal mode and Visual mode. > | |
732 :set mouse=h | |
733 Will make the mouse work in help files only (so you can use "g<LeftMouse>" to | |
734 jump to tags). | |
735 | |
736 Whether the selection that is started with the mouse is in Visual mode or | |
737 Select mode depends on whether "mouse" is included in the 'selectmode' | |
738 option. | |
739 | |
740 In an xterm, with the currently active mode included in the 'mouse' option, | |
741 normal mouse clicks are used by Vim, mouse clicks with the shift or ctrl key | |
742 pressed go to the xterm. With the currently active mode not included in | |
743 'mouse' all mouse clicks go to the xterm. | |
744 | |
745 *xterm-clipboard* | |
746 In the Athena and Motif GUI versions, when running in a terminal and there is | |
747 access to the X-server (DISPLAY is set), the copy and paste will behave like | |
748 in the GUI. If not, the middle mouse button will insert the unnamed register. | |
749 In that case, here is how you copy and paste a piece of text: | |
750 | |
751 Copy/paste with the mouse and Visual mode ('mouse' option must be set, see | |
752 above): | |
753 1. Press left mouse button on first letter of text, move mouse pointer to last | |
754 letter of the text and release the button. This will start Visual mode and | |
755 highlight the selected area. | |
756 2. Press "y" to yank the Visual text in the unnamed register. | |
757 3. Click the left mouse button at the insert position. | |
758 4. Click the middle mouse button. | |
759 | |
760 Shortcut: If the insert position is on the screen at the same time as the | |
761 Visual text, you can do 2, 3 and 4 all in one: Click the middle mouse button | |
762 at the insert position. | |
763 | |
764 Note: When the |-X| command line argument is used, Vim will not connect to the | |
765 X server and copy/paste to the X clipboard (selection) will not work. Use the | |
766 shift key with the mouse buttons to let the xterm do the selection. | |
767 | |
768 *xterm-command-server* | |
769 When the X-server clipboard is available, the command server described in | |
770 |x11-clientserver| can be enabled with the --servername command line argument. | |
771 | |
772 *xterm-copy-paste* | |
773 NOTE: In some (older) xterms, it's not possible to move the cursor past column | |
5908 | 774 95 or 223. This is an xterm problem, not Vim's. Get a newer xterm |
775 |color-xterm|. Also see |'ttymouse'|. | |
7 | 776 |
777 Copy/paste in xterm with (current mode NOT included in 'mouse'): | |
778 1. Press left mouse button on first letter of text, move mouse pointer to last | |
779 letter of the text and release the button. | |
780 2. Use normal Vim commands to put the cursor at the insert position. | |
781 3. Press "a" to start Insert mode. | |
782 4. Click the middle mouse button. | |
783 5. Press ESC to end Insert mode. | |
784 (The same can be done with anything in 'mouse' if you keep the shift key | |
785 pressed while using the mouse.) | |
786 | |
787 Note: if you lose the 8th bit when pasting (special characters are translated | |
788 into other characters), you may have to do "stty cs8 -istrip -parenb" in your | |
789 shell before starting Vim. | |
790 | |
791 Thus in an xterm the shift and ctrl keys cannot be used with the mouse. Mouse | |
792 commands requiring the CTRL modifier can be simulated by typing the "g" key | |
793 before using the mouse: | |
794 "g<LeftMouse>" is "<C-LeftMouse> (jump to tag under mouse click) | |
795 "g<RightMouse>" is "<C-RightMouse> ("CTRL-T") | |
796 | |
797 *mouse-mode-table* *mouse-overview* | |
798 A short overview of what the mouse buttons do, when 'mousemodel' is "extend": | |

832 event position selection change action ~ | |
833 cursor window ~ | |
834 <2-LeftMouse> yes (cannot be active) no "^]" (jump to help tag) | |
835 | |
836 When 'mousemodel' is "popup", these are different: | |
837 | |
838 Normal Mode: | |
839 event position selection change action ~ | |
840 cursor window ~ | |
841 <S-LeftMouse> yes start or extend (1) no | |
600 | 842 <A-LeftMouse> yes start or extend blockw. no *<A-LeftMouse>* |
7 | 843 <RightMouse> no popup menu no |
844 | |
845 Insert or Replace Mode: | |
846 event position selection change action ~ | |
847 cursor window ~ | |
848 <S-LeftMouse> yes start or extend (1) no like CTRL-O (1) | |
600 | 849 <A-LeftMouse> yes start or extend blockw. no |
7 | 850 <RightMouse> no popup menu no |
851 | |
852 (1) only if mouse pointer moved since press | |
853 (2) only if click is in same buffer | |
854 | |
855 Clicking the left mouse button causes the cursor to be positioned. If the | |
856 click is in another window that window is made the active window. When | |
857 editing the command-line the cursor can only be positioned on the | |
858 command-line. When in Insert mode Vim remains in Insert mode. If 'scrolloff' | |
859 is set, and the cursor is positioned within 'scrolloff' lines from the window | |
860 border, the text is scrolled. | |
861 | |
862 A selection can be started by pressing the left mouse button on the first | |
863 character, moving the mouse to the last character, then releasing the mouse | |
864 button. You will not always see the selection until you release the button, | |
865 only in some versions (GUI, MS-DOS, WIN32) will the dragging be shown | |
866 immediately. Note that you can make the text scroll by moving the mouse at | |
867 least one character in the first/last line in the window when 'scrolloff' is | |
868 non-zero. | |
869 | |
870 In Normal, Visual and Select mode clicking the right mouse button causes the | |
871 Visual area to be extended. When 'mousemodel' is "popup", the left button has | |
872 to be used while keeping the shift key pressed. When clicking in a window | |
873 which is editing another buffer, the Visual or Select mode is stopped. | |
874 | |
600 | 875 In Normal, Visual and Select mode clicking the right mouse button with the alt |
1121 | 876 key pressed causes the Visual area to become blockwise. When 'mousemodel' is |
600 | 877 "popup" the left button has to be used with the alt key. Note that this won't |
853 | 878 work on systems where the window manager consumes the mouse events when the |
879 alt key is pressed (it may move the window). | |
600 | 880 |
7 | 881 *double-click* |
882 Double, triple and quadruple clicks are supported when the GUI is active, | |
883 for MS-DOS and Win32, and for an xterm (if the gettimeofday() function is | |
884 available). For selecting text, extra clicks extend the selection: | |
885 click select ~ | |
886 double word or % match *<2-LeftMouse>* | |
887 triple line *<3-LeftMouse>* | |
888 quadruple rectangular block *<4-LeftMouse>* | |
889 Exception: In a Help window a double click jumps to help for the word that is | |
890 clicked on. | |
891 A double click on a word selects that word. 'iskeyword' is used to specify | |
892 which characters are included in a word. A double click on a character | |
893 that has a match selects until that match (like using "v%"). If the match is | |
894 an #if/#else/#endif block, the selection becomes linewise. | |
895 For MS-DOS and xterm the time for double clicking can be set with the | |
896 'mousetime' option. For the other systems this time is defined outside of | |
897 Vim. | |
898 An example, for using a double click to jump to the tag under the cursor: > | |
899 :map <2-LeftMouse> :exe "tag ". expand("<cword>")<CR> | |
900 | |
901 Dragging the mouse with a double click (button-down, button-up, button-down | |
902 and then drag) will result in whole words to be selected. This continues | |
903 until the button is released, at which point the selection is per character | |
904 again. | |
905 | |
906 *gpm-mouse* | |
907 The GPM mouse is only supported when the |+mouse_gpm| feature was enabled at | |
908 compile time. The GPM mouse driver (Linux console) does not support quadruple | |
909 clicks. | |
910 | |
911 In Insert mode, when a selection is started, Vim goes into Normal mode | |
912 temporarily. When Visual or Select mode ends, it returns to Insert mode. | |
913 This is like using CTRL-O in Insert mode. Select mode is used when the | |
914 'selectmode' option contains "mouse". | |
1621 | 915 *sysmouse* |
916 The sysmouse is only supported when the |+mouse_sysmouse| feature was enabled | |
917 at compile time. The sysmouse driver (*BSD console) does not support keyboard | |
918 modifiers. | |
7 | 919 |
920 *drag-status-line* | |
921 When working with several windows, the size of the windows can be changed by | |
922 dragging the status line with the mouse. Point the mouse at a status line, | |
923 press the left button, move the mouse to the new position of the status line, | |
924 release the button. Just clicking the mouse in a status line makes that window | |
925 the current window, without moving the cursor. If by selecting a window it | |
926 will change position or size, the dragging of the status line will look | |
927 confusing, but it will work (just try it). | |
928 | |
929 *<MiddleRelease>* *<MiddleDrag>* | |
930 Mouse clicks can be mapped. The codes for mouse clicks are: | |
931 code mouse button normal action ~ | |
932 <LeftMouse> left pressed set cursor position | |
933 <LeftDrag> left moved while pressed extend selection | |
934 <LeftRelease> left released set selection end | |
935 <MiddleMouse> middle pressed paste text at cursor position | |
936 <MiddleDrag> middle moved while pressed - | |
937 <MiddleRelease> middle released - | |
938 <RightMouse> right pressed extend selection | |
939 <RightDrag> right moved while pressed extend selection | |
940 <RightRelease> right released set selection end | |
941 <X1Mouse> X1 button pressed - *X1Mouse* | |
942 <X1Drag> X1 moved while pressed - *X1Drag* | |
943 <X1Release> X1 button release - *X1Release* | |
944 <X2Mouse> X2 button pressed - *X2Mouse* | |
945 <X2Drag> X2 moved while pressed - *X2Drag* | |
946 <X2Release> X2 button release - *X2Release* | |
947 | |
948 The X1 and X2 buttons refer to the extra buttons found on some mice. The | |
949 'Microsoft Explorer' mouse has these buttons available to the right thumb. | |

950 Currently X1 and X2 only work on Win32 and X11 environments. |
7 | 951 |
952 Examples: > | |
953 :noremap <MiddleMouse> <LeftMouse><MiddleMouse> | |
954 Paste at the position of the middle mouse button click (otherwise the paste | |
955 would be done at the cursor position). > | |
956 | |
957 :noremap <LeftRelease> <LeftRelease>y | |
958 Immediately yank the selection, when using Visual mode. | |
959 | |
960 Note the use of ":noremap" instead of "map" to avoid a recursive mapping. | |
961 > | |
962 :map <X1Mouse> <C-O> | |
963 :map <X2Mouse> <C-I> | |
964 Map the X1 and X2 buttons to go forwards and backwards in the jump list, see | |
965 |CTRL-O| and |CTRL-I|. | |
966 | |
967 *mouse-swap-buttons* | |
968 To swap the meaning of the left and right mouse buttons: > | |
