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|. | |

24 ============================================================================== | |
25 1. Startup *startup-terminal* | |
26 | |
27 When Vim is started a default terminal type is assumed. For the Amiga this is | |
18972 | 28 a standard CLI window, for MS-Windows the pc terminal, for Unix an ansi |
29 terminal. A few other terminal types are always available, see below | |
30 |builtin-terms|. | |
7 | 31 |
32 You can give the terminal name with the '-T' Vim argument. If it is not given | |
33 Vim will try to get the name from the TERM environment variable. | |
34 | |
35 *termcap* *terminfo* *E557* *E558* *E559* | |
36 On Unix the terminfo database or termcap file is used. This is referred to as | |
37 "termcap" in all the documentation. At compile time, when running configure, | |
38 the choice whether to use terminfo or termcap is done automatically. When | |
39 running Vim the output of ":version" will show |+terminfo| if terminfo is | |
40 used. Also see |xterm-screens|. | |
41 | |
42 On non-Unix systems a termcap is only available if Vim was compiled with | |
43 TERMCAP defined. | |

48 terminals in the error message you get for `:set term=xxx` (when not running |
29885 | 49 the GUI). Also see |++builtin_terms|. |
7 | 50 |
51 If the termcap code is included Vim will try to get the strings for the | |
52 terminal you are using from the termcap file and the builtin termcaps. Both | |
53 are always used, if an entry for the terminal you are using is present. Which | |
54 one is used first depends on the 'ttybuiltin' option: | |
55 | |
56 'ttybuiltin' on 1: builtin termcap 2: external termcap | |
57 'ttybuiltin' off 1: external termcap 2: builtin termcap | |
58 | |
59 If an option is missing in one of them, it will be obtained from the other | |
60 one. If an option is present in both, the one first encountered is used. | |
61 | |
62 Which external termcap file is used varies from system to system and may | |
63 depend on the environment variables "TERMCAP" and "TERMPATH". See "man | |
64 tgetent". | |
65 | |
66 Settings depending on terminal *term-dependent-settings* | |
67 | |
68 If you want to set options or mappings, depending on the terminal name, you | |
69 can do this best in your .vimrc. Example: > | |
70 | |
71 if &term == "xterm" | |
72 ... xterm maps and settings ... | |
73 elseif &term =~ "vt10." | |
74 ... vt100, vt102 maps and settings ... | |
75 endif | |

14123 | 125 If your terminal supports bracketed paste, but the options are not set |
126 automatically, you can try using something like this: > | |
127 | |
128 if &term =~ "screen" | |
129 let &t_BE = "\e[?2004h" | |
130 let &t_BD = "\e[?2004l" | |
131 exec "set t_PS=\e[200~" | |
132 exec "set t_PE=\e[201~" | |
133 endif | |
31579 | 134 |
135 The terminfo entries "BE", "BD", "PS" and "PE" were added in ncurses version | |
136 6.4, early 2023, for some terminals. If you have this version then you may | |
137 not have to manually configure your terminal. | |

140 If you experience issues when running Vim inside tmux, here are a few hints. | |
141 You can comment-out parts if something doesn't work (it may depend on the | |
142 terminal that tmux is running in): > | |
143 | |
144 if !has('gui_running') && &term =~ '^\%(screen\|tmux\)' | |
145 " Better mouse support, see :help 'ttymouse' | |
146 set ttymouse=sgr | |
147 | |
148 " Enable true colors, see :help xterm-true-color | |
149 let &termguicolors = v:true | |
150 let &t_8f = "\<Esc>[38;2;%lu;%lu;%lum" | |
151 let &t_8b = "\<Esc>[48;2;%lu;%lu;%lum" | |
152 | |
153 " Enable bracketed paste mode, see :help xterm-bracketed-paste | |
154 let &t_BE = "\<Esc>[?2004h" | |
155 let &t_BD = "\<Esc>[?2004l" | |
156 let &t_PS = "\<Esc>[200~" | |
157 let &t_PE = "\<Esc>[201~" | |
158 | |
159 " Enable focus event tracking, see :help xterm-focus-event | |
160 let &t_fe = "\<Esc>[?1004h" | |
161 let &t_fd = "\<Esc>[?1004l" | |

167 execute "silent! set <xDown>=\<Esc>[@;*B" | |
168 execute "silent! set <xRight>=\<Esc>[@;*C" | |
169 execute "silent! set <xLeft>=\<Esc>[@;*D" | |
170 endif | |
171 < | |
7 | 172 *cs7-problem* |
173 Note: If the terminal settings are changed after running Vim, you might have | |
174 an illegal combination of settings. This has been reported on Solaris 2.5 | |
175 with "stty cs8 parenb", which is restored as "stty cs7 parenb". Use | |
176 "stty cs8 -parenb -istrip" instead, this is restored correctly. | |
177 | |
178 Some termcap entries are wrong in the sense that after sending 't_ks' the | |
179 cursor keys send codes different from the codes defined in the termcap. To | |
180 avoid this you can set 't_ks' (and 't_ke') to empty strings. This must be | |
181 done during initialization (see |initialization|), otherwise it's too late. | |
182 | |
183 Some termcap entries assume that the highest bit is always reset. For | |
184 example: The cursor-up entry for the Amiga could be ":ku=\E[A:". But the | |
185 Amiga really sends "\233A". This works fine if the highest bit is reset, | |
186 e.g., when using an Amiga over a serial line. If the cursor keys don't work, | |
187 try the entry ":ku=\233A:". | |
188 | |
189 Some termcap entries have the entry ":ku=\E[A:". But the Amiga really sends | |
190 "\233A". On output "\E[" and "\233" are often equivalent, on input they | |
191 aren't. You will have to change the termcap entry, or change the key code with | |
192 the :set command to fix this. | |
193 | |
194 Many cursor key codes start with an <Esc>. Vim must find out if this is a | |
195 single hit of the <Esc> key or the start of a cursor key sequence. It waits | |
196 for a next character to arrive. If it does not arrive within one second a | |
197 single <Esc> is assumed. On very slow systems this may fail, causing cursor | |
198 keys not to work sometimes. If you discover this problem reset the 'timeout' | |
199 option. Vim will wait for the next character to arrive after an <Esc>. If | |
200 you want to enter a single <Esc> you must type it twice. Resetting the | |
201 'esckeys' option avoids this problem in Insert mode, but you lose the | |
202 possibility to use cursor and function keys in Insert mode. | |
203 | |
204 On the Amiga the recognition of window resizing is activated only when the | |
205 terminal name is "amiga" or "builtin_amiga". | |
206 | |
207 Some terminals have confusing codes for the cursor keys. The televideo 925 is | |
208 such a terminal. It sends a CTRL-H for cursor-left. This would make it | |
209 impossible to distinguish a backspace and cursor-left. To avoid this problem | |
210 CTRL-H is never recognized as cursor-left. | |
211 | |
212 *vt100-cursor-keys* *xterm-cursor-keys* | |
213 Other terminals (e.g., vt100 and xterm) have cursor keys that send <Esc>OA, | |
214 <Esc>OB, etc. Unfortunately these are valid commands in insert mode: Stop | |
215 insert, Open a new line above the new one, start inserting 'A', 'B', etc. | |
216 Instead of performing these commands Vim will erroneously recognize this typed | |
217 key sequence as a cursor key movement. To avoid this and make Vim do what you | |
218 want in either case you could use these settings: > | |
219 :set notimeout " don't timeout on mappings | |
220 :set ttimeout " do timeout on terminal key codes | |
221 :set timeoutlen=100 " timeout after 100 msec | |
1621 | 222 This requires the key-codes to be sent within 100 msec in order to recognize |
7 | 223 them as a cursor key. When you type you normally are not that fast, so they |
224 are recognized as individual typed commands, even though Vim receives the same | |
225 sequence of bytes. | |
226 | |
227 *vt100-function-keys* *xterm-function-keys* | |
228 An xterm can send function keys F1 to F4 in two modes: vt100 compatible or | |
179 | 229 not. Because Vim may not know what the xterm is sending, both types of keys |
7 | 230 are recognized. The same happens for the <Home> and <End> keys. |
231 normal vt100 ~ | |
232 <F1> t_k1 <Esc>[11~ <xF1> <Esc>OP *<xF1>-xterm* | |
233 <F2> t_k2 <Esc>[12~ <xF2> <Esc>OQ *<xF2>-xterm* | |
234 <F3> t_k3 <Esc>[13~ <xF3> <Esc>OR *<xF3>-xterm* | |
235 <F4> t_k4 <Esc>[14~ <xF4> <Esc>OS *<xF4>-xterm* | |
236 <Home> t_kh <Esc>[7~ <xHome> <Esc>OH *<xHome>-xterm* | |
237 <End> t_@7 <Esc>[4~ <xEnd> <Esc>OF *<xEnd>-xterm* | |
238 | |
239 When Vim starts, <xF1> is mapped to <F1>, <xF2> to <F2> etc. This means that | |
240 by default both codes do the same thing. If you make a mapping for <xF2>, | |
241 because your terminal does have two keys, the default mapping is overwritten, | |
242 thus you can use the <F2> and <xF2> keys for something different. | |
243 | |
244 *xterm-shifted-keys* | |
245 Newer versions of xterm support shifted function keys and special keys. Vim | |
246 recognizes most of them. Use ":set termcap" to check which are supported and | |
247 what the codes are. Mostly these are not in a termcap, they are only | |
248 supported by the builtin_xterm termcap. | |
249 | |
179 | 250 *xterm-modifier-keys* |
251 Newer versions of xterm support Alt and Ctrl for most function keys. To avoid | |
252 having to add all combinations of Alt, Ctrl and Shift for every key a special | |
253 sequence is recognized at the end of a termcap entry: ";*X". The "X" can be | |
254 any character, often '~' is used. The ";*" stands for an optional modifier | |
255 argument. ";2" is Shift, ";3" is Alt, ";5" is Ctrl and ";9" is Meta (when | |
256 it's different from Alt). They can be combined. Examples: > | |
257 :set <F8>=^[[19;*~ | |
258 :set <Home>=^[[1;*H | |
259 Another speciality about these codes is that they are not overwritten by | |
260 another code. That is to avoid that the codes obtained from xterm directly | |
261 |t_RV| overwrite them. | |

265 stands for either "1" if a modifier follows, or nothing. |
26438 | 266 *arrow_modifiers* |
267 Several terminal emulators (alacritty, gnome, konsole, etc.) send special | |
268 codes for keys with modifiers, but these do not have an entry in the | |
269 termcap/terminfo database. You can make them work by adding a few lines in | |
270 your vimrc. For example, to make the Control modifier work with arrow keys | |
271 for the gnome terminal: > | |
272 if &term =~ 'gnome' | |
273 execute "set <xUp>=\<Esc>[@;*A" | |
274 execute "set <xDown>=\<Esc>[@;*B" | |
275 execute "set <xRight>=\<Esc>[@;*C" | |
276 execute "set <xLeft>=\<Esc>[@;*D" | |
277 endif | |
278 < *xterm-scroll-region* | |
7 | 279 The default termcap entry for xterm on Sun and other platforms does not |
280 contain the entry for scroll regions. Add ":cs=\E[%i%d;%dr:" to the xterm | |
281 entry in /etc/termcap and everything should work. | |
282 | |
283 *xterm-end-home-keys* | |
284 On some systems (at least on FreeBSD with XFree86 3.1.2) the codes that the | |
285 <End> and <Home> keys send contain a <Nul> character. To make these keys send | |
286 the proper key code, add these lines to your ~/.Xdefaults file: | |
287 | |
288 *VT100.Translations: #override \n\ | |
289 <Key>Home: string("0x1b") string("[7~") \n\ | |
290 <Key>End: string("0x1b") string("[8~") | |
291 | |
292 *xterm-8bit* *xterm-8-bit* | |
293 Xterm can be run in a mode where it uses 8-bit escape sequences. The CSI code | |
294 is used instead of <Esc>[. The advantage is that an <Esc> can quickly be | |
295 recognized in Insert mode, because it can't be confused with the start of a | |
296 special key. | |
297 For the builtin termcap entries, Vim checks if the 'term' option contains | |
298 "8bit" anywhere. It then uses 8-bit characters for the termcap entries, the | |
299 mouse and a few other things. You would normally set $TERM in your shell to | |
300 "xterm-8bit" and Vim picks this up and adjusts to the 8-bit setting | |
301 automatically. | |
302 When Vim receives a response to the |t_RV| (request version) sequence and it | |
303 starts with CSI, it assumes that the terminal is in 8-bit mode and will | |
304 convert all key sequences to their 8-bit variants. | |
305 | |
31579 | 306 *xterm-terminfo-entries* |
307 For some time the terminfo entries were insufficient to describe all the | |
308 features tht Vim can use. The builtin xterm termcap entries did have these, | |
309 with the result that several terminals that were similar enough to xterm took | |
310 advantage of these by prefixing "xterm-" to the terminal name in $TERM. | |
311 | |
312 This leads to problems, because quite often these terminals are not 100% | |
313 compatible with xterm. At the start of 2023 several entries have been added | |
314 to the terminfo database to make it possible to use these features without | |
315 using the "xterm" workaround. These are the relevant entries (so far): | |
316 | |
317 name xterm value description ~ | |
318 RV "\033[>c" Request version |t_RV| | |
319 | |
320 BE "\033[?2004h" enable bracketed paste mode |t_BE| | |
321 BD "\033[?2004l" disable bracketed paste mode |t_BD| | |
322 PS "\033[200~" pasted text start |t_PS| | |
323 PE "\033[201~" pasted text end |t_PE| | |
324 | |
31885 | 325 XM "\033[?1006;1004;1000%?%p1%{1}%=%th%el%;" |
31671 | 326 mouse enable / disable |t_XM| |
327 | |
31885 | 328 The "XM" entry includes "1006" to enable SGR style mouse reporting. This |
329 supports columns above 223. It also includes "1004" which enables focus | |
330 reporting. The t_fe and t_fd entries can be left empty (they don't have | |
331 entries in terminfo/termcap anyway). | |

333 *xterm-kitty* *kitty-terminal* |
31579 | 334 The Kitty terminal is a special case. Mainly because it works differently |
335 from most other terminals, but also because, instead of trying the fit in and | |
336 make it behave like other terminals by default, it dictates how applications | |
337 need to work when using Kitty. This makes it very difficult for Vim to work | |
338 in a Kitty terminal. Some exceptions have been hard coded, but it is not at | |
339 all nice to have to make exceptions for one specific terminal. | |

7 | 358 ============================================================================== |
667 | 359 2. Terminal options *terminal-options* *termcap-options* *E436* |
7 | 360 |
361 The terminal options can be set just like normal options. But they are not | |
362 shown with the ":set all" command. Instead use ":set termcap". | |
363 | |
364 It is always possible to change individual strings by setting the | |
365 appropriate option. For example: > | |
366 :set t_ce=^V^[[K (CTRL-V, <Esc>, [, K) | |
367 | |
368 The options are listed below. The associated termcap code is always equal to | |
369 the last two characters of the option name. Only one termcap code is | |
370 required: Cursor motion, 't_cm'. | |
371 | |
6602 | 372 The options 't_da', 't_db', 't_ms', 't_xs', 't_xn' represent flags in the |
373 termcap. When the termcap flag is present, the option will be set to "y". | |
374 But any non-empty string means that the flag is set. An empty string means | |
375 that the flag is not set. 't_CS' works like this too, but it isn't a termcap | |
376 flag. | |

31671 | 512 *mouse-reporting* |
513 Many terminals can report mouse clicks and some can report mouse movement and | |
514 dragging. Vim needs to know what codes are being used for this. | |
515 | |
516 The "XM" terminfo/termcap entry is used for this. Vim also has the 'ttymouse' | |
517 option to specify the mouse protocol being used. See the option for the | |
518 possible values. | |
519 | |
520 If Vim can read the "XM" terminfo/termcap entry then it will be used for | |
521 enabling and disabling the mouse reporting. If it is missing, then the value | |
522 from 'ttymouse' is used to decide how to do this. | |
523 | |
524 If the "XM" entry exists and the first number is "1006" then 'ttymouse' will | |
525 be set to "sgr", unless it was already set earlier. | |

628 Note about t_so and t_mr: When the termcap entry "so" is not present the | |
629 entry for "mr" is used. And vice versa. The same is done for "se" and "me". | |
630 If your terminal supports both inversion and standout mode, you can see two | |
631 different modes. If your terminal supports only one of the modes, both will | |
632 look the same. | |
633 | |
33 | 634 *keypad-comma* |
7 | 635 The keypad keys, when they are not mapped, behave like the equivalent normal |
33 | 636 key. There is one exception: if you have a comma on the keypad instead of a |
637 decimal point, Vim will use a dot anyway. Use these mappings to fix that: > | |
638 :noremap <kPoint> , | |
639 :noremap! <kPoint> , | |
640 < *xterm-codes* | |
7 | 641 There is a special trick to obtain the key codes which currently only works |
642 for xterm. When |t_RV| is defined and a response is received which indicates | |
643 an xterm with patchlevel 141 or higher, Vim uses special escape sequences to | |
644 request the key codes directly from the xterm. The responses are used to | |
645 adjust the various t_ codes. This avoids the problem that the xterm can | |
646 produce different codes, depending on the mode it is in (8-bit, VT102, | |
647 VT220, etc.). The result is that codes like <xF1> are no longer needed. | |

7 | 714 *termcap-colors* |
715 Note about colors: The 't_Co' option tells Vim the number of colors available. | |
716 When it is non-zero, the 't_AB' and 't_AF' options are used to set the color. | |
717 If one of these is not available, 't_Sb' and 't_Sf' are used. 't_me' is used | |
16380 | 718 to reset to the default colors. Also see 'termguicolors'. |
20115 | 719 When the GUI is running 't_Co' is set to 16777216. |
7 | 720 |
36 | 721 *termcap-cursor-shape* *termcap-cursor-color* |
6727 | 722 When Vim enters Insert mode the 't_SI' escape sequence is sent. When Vim |
723 enters Replace mode the 't_SR' escape sequence is sent if it is set, otherwise | |
29403 | 724 't_SI' is sent. When leaving Insert mode or Replace mode 't_EI' is used. |
725 Note: When 't_EI' is not set then 't_SI' and 't_SR' will not be sent. And | |
726 when 't_SI' or 't_SR' is not set then 't_EI' is sent only once. | |
727 | |
728 This can be used to change the shape or color of the cursor in Insert or | |
729 Replace mode. These are not standard termcap/terminfo entries, you need to set | |
730 them yourself. | |
36 | 731 Example for an xterm, this changes the color of the cursor: > |
732 if &term =~ "xterm" | |
733 let &t_SI = "\<Esc>]12;purple\x7" | |
6727 | 734 let &t_SR = "\<Esc>]12;red\x7" |
36 | 735 let &t_EI = "\<Esc>]12;blue\x7" |
736 endif | |
737 NOTE: When Vim exits the shape for Normal mode will remain. The shape from | |
738 before Vim started will not be restored. | |

751 {not available when compiled without the |+cursorshape| feature} |
36 | 752 |
7 | 753 *termcap-title* |
754 The 't_ts' and 't_fs' options are used to set the window title if the terminal | |
755 allows title setting via sending strings. They are sent before and after the | |
756 title string, respectively. Similar 't_IS' and 't_IE' are used to set the | |
757 icon text. These are Vim-internal extensions of the Unix termcap, so they | |
758 cannot be obtained from an external termcap. However, the builtin termcap | |
759 contains suitable entries for xterm and iris-ansi, so you don't need to set | |
760 them here. | |
761 *hpterm* | |
762 If inversion or other highlighting does not work correctly, try setting the | |
763 't_xs' option to a non-empty string. This makes the 't_ce' code be used to | |
764 remove highlighting from a line. This is required for "hpterm". Setting the | |
765 'weirdinvert' option has the same effect as making 't_xs' non-empty, and vice | |
766 versa. | |
767 | |
768 *scroll-region* | |
19116 | 769 Some termcaps do not include an entry for "cs" (scroll region), although the |
7 | 770 terminal does support it. For example: xterm on a Sun. You can use the |
771 builtin_xterm or define t_cs yourself. For example: > | |
772 :set t_cs=^V^[[%i%d;%dr | |
773 Where ^V is CTRL-V and ^[ is <Esc>. | |
774 | |
775 The vertical scroll region t_CV is not a standard termcap code. Vim uses it | |
776 internally in the GUI. But it can also be defined for a terminal, if you can | |
777 find one that supports it. The two arguments are the left and right column of | |
778 the region which to restrict the scrolling to. Just like t_cs defines the top | |
779 and bottom lines. Defining t_CV will make scrolling in vertically split | |
780 windows a lot faster. Don't set t_CV when t_da or t_db is set (text isn't | |
781 cleared when scrolling). | |
782 | |
783 Unfortunately it is not possible to deduce from the termcap how cursor | |
784 positioning should be done when using a scrolling region: Relative to the | |
785 beginning of the screen or relative to the beginning of the scrolling region. | |
19116 | 786 Most terminals use the first method. The 't_CS' option should be set to any |
787 string when cursor positioning is relative to the start of the scrolling | |
788 region. It should be set to an empty string otherwise. | |
7 | 789 |
790 Note for xterm users: The shifted cursor keys normally don't work. You can | |
791 make them work with the xmodmap command and some mappings in Vim. | |
792 | |
793 Give these commands in the xterm: | |
794 xmodmap -e "keysym Up = Up F13" | |
795 xmodmap -e "keysym Down = Down F16" | |
796 xmodmap -e "keysym Left = Left F18" | |
797 xmodmap -e "keysym Right = Right F19" | |
798 | |
799 And use these mappings in Vim: | |
800 :map <t_F3> <S-Up> | |
801 :map! <t_F3> <S-Up> | |
802 :map <t_F6> <S-Down> | |
803 :map! <t_F6> <S-Down> | |
804 :map <t_F8> <S-Left> | |
805 :map! <t_F8> <S-Left> | |
806 :map <t_F9> <S-Right> | |
807 :map! <t_F9> <S-Right> | |
808 | |
809 Instead of, say, <S-Up> you can use any other command that you want to use the | |
810 shift-cursor-up key for. (Note: To help people that have a Sun keyboard with | |
811 left side keys F14 is not used because it is confused with the undo key; F15 | |
812 is not used, because it does a window-to-front; F17 is not used, because it | |
813 closes the window. On other systems you can probably use them.) | |
814 | |
815 ============================================================================== | |
816 3. Window size *window-size* | |
817 | |
818 [This is about the size of the whole window Vim is using, not a window that is | |
819 created with the ":split" command.] | |
820 | |
821 If you are running Vim on an Amiga and the terminal name is "amiga" or | |
822 "builtin_amiga", the amiga-specific window resizing will be enabled. On Unix | |
823 systems three methods are tried to get the window size: | |
824 | |
825 - an ioctl call (TIOCGSIZE or TIOCGWINSZ, depends on your system) | |
826 - the environment variables "LINES" and "COLUMNS" | |
827 - from the termcap entries "li" and "co" | |
828 | |
829 If everything fails a default size of 24 lines and 80 columns is assumed. If | |
830 a window-resize signal is received the size will be set again. If the window | |
831 size is wrong you can use the 'lines' and 'columns' options to set the | |
832 correct values. | |
833 | |
834 One command can be used to set the screen size: | |

843 4. Slow and fast terminals *slow-fast-terminal* | |
844 *slow-terminal* | |
845 | |
846 If you have a fast terminal you may like to set the 'ruler' option. The | |
847 cursor position is shown in the status line. If you are using horizontal | |
848 scrolling ('wrap' option off) consider setting 'sidescroll' to a small | |
849 number. | |
850 | |
851 If you have a slow terminal you may want to reset the 'showcmd' option. | |
852 The command characters will not be shown in the status line. If the terminal | |
853 scrolls very slowly, set the 'scrolljump' to 5 or so. If the cursor is moved | |
854 off the screen (e.g., with "j") Vim will scroll 5 lines at a time. Another | |
855 possibility is to reduce the number of lines that Vim uses with the command | |
856 "z{height}<CR>". | |
857 | |
858 If the characters from the terminal are arriving with more than 1 second | |
859 between them you might want to set the 'timeout' and/or 'ttimeout' option. | |
860 See the "Options" chapter |options|. | |
861 | |
862 If your terminal does not support a scrolling region, but it does support | |
863 insert/delete line commands, scrolling with multiple windows may make the | |

866 verbose set ttyfast? |
7 | 867 |
868 If your terminal scrolls very slowly, but redrawing is not slow, set the | |
869 'ttyscroll' option to a small number, e.g., 3. This will make Vim redraw the | |
870 screen instead of scrolling, when there are more than 3 lines to be scrolled. | |
871 | |
872 If you are using a color terminal that is slow, use this command: > | |
873 hi NonText cterm=NONE ctermfg=NONE | |
874 This avoids that spaces are sent when they have different attributes. On most | |
875 terminals you can't see this anyway. | |
876 | |
877 If you are using Vim over a slow serial line, you might want to try running | |
878 Vim inside the "screen" program. Screen will optimize the terminal I/O quite | |
879 a bit. | |
880 | |
18972 | 881 If you are testing termcap options, but you cannot see what is happening, you |
882 might want to set the 'writedelay' option. When non-zero, one character is | |
883 sent to the terminal at a time. This makes the screen updating a lot slower, | |
884 making it possible to see what is happening. | |

889 This section is about using the mouse on a terminal or a terminal window. How | |
890 to use the mouse in a GUI window is explained in |gui-mouse|. For scrolling | |
891 with a mouse wheel see |scroll-mouse-wheel|. | |

893 Don't forget to enable the mouse with this command: > |
7 | 894 :set mouse=a |
895 Otherwise Vim won't recognize the mouse in all modes (See 'mouse'). | |
896 | |
1621 | 897 Currently the mouse is supported for Unix in an xterm window, in a *BSD |
18972 | 898 console with |sysmouse|, in a Linux console (with GPM |gpm-mouse|), and |
899 in a Windows console. | |
7 | 900 Mouse clicks can be used to position the cursor, select an area and paste. |
901 | |
902 These characters in the 'mouse' option tell in which situations the mouse will | |
903 be used by Vim: | |
904 n Normal mode | |
905 v Visual mode | |
906 i Insert mode | |
907 c Command-line mode | |
908 h all previous modes when in a help file | |
909 a all previous modes | |
910 r for |hit-enter| prompt | |
911 | |
912 The default for 'mouse' is empty, the mouse is not used. Normally you would | |
913 do: > | |
914 :set mouse=a | |
915 to start using the mouse (this is equivalent to setting 'mouse' to "nvich"). | |
916 If you only want to use the mouse in a few modes or also want to use it for | |
917 the two questions you will have to concatenate the letters for those modes. | |
918 For example: > | |
919 :set mouse=nv | |
920 Will make the mouse work in Normal mode and Visual mode. > | |
921 :set mouse=h | |
922 Will make the mouse work in help files only (so you can use "g<LeftMouse>" to | |
923 jump to tags). | |
924 | |
925 Whether the selection that is started with the mouse is in Visual mode or | |
926 Select mode depends on whether "mouse" is included in the 'selectmode' | |
927 option. | |

942 exit the shell. 'mouse' can remain set to "a" then. |
7 | 943 *xterm-clipboard* |
28379 | 944 In the Motif GUI version, when running in a terminal and there is |
7 | 945 access to the X-server (DISPLAY is set), the copy and paste will behave like |
946 in the GUI. If not, the middle mouse button will insert the unnamed register. | |
947 In that case, here is how you copy and paste a piece of text: | |
948 | |
949 Copy/paste with the mouse and Visual mode ('mouse' option must be set, see | |
950 above): | |
951 1. Press left mouse button on first letter of text, move mouse pointer to last | |
952 letter of the text and release the button. This will start Visual mode and | |
953 highlight the selected area. | |
954 2. Press "y" to yank the Visual text in the unnamed register. | |
955 3. Click the left mouse button at the insert position. | |
956 4. Click the middle mouse button. | |
957 | |
958 Shortcut: If the insert position is on the screen at the same time as the | |
959 Visual text, you can do 2, 3 and 4 all in one: Click the middle mouse button | |
960 at the insert position. | |
961 | |
962 Note: When the |-X| command line argument is used, Vim will not connect to the | |
963 X server and copy/paste to the X clipboard (selection) will not work. Use the | |
964 shift key with the mouse buttons to let the xterm do the selection. | |
965 | |
966 *xterm-command-server* | |
967 When the X-server clipboard is available, the command server described in | |
968 |x11-clientserver| can be enabled with the --servername command line argument. | |
969 | |
970 *xterm-copy-paste* | |
971 NOTE: In some (older) xterms, it's not possible to move the cursor past column | |
5908 | 972 95 or 223. This is an xterm problem, not Vim's. Get a newer xterm |
973 |color-xterm|. Also see |'ttymouse'|. | |
7 | 974 |
975 Copy/paste in xterm with (current mode NOT included in 'mouse'): | |
976 1. Press left mouse button on first letter of text, move mouse pointer to last | |
977 letter of the text and release the button. | |
978 2. Use normal Vim commands to put the cursor at the insert position. | |
979 3. Press "a" to start Insert mode. | |
980 4. Click the middle mouse button. | |
981 5. Press ESC to end Insert mode. | |
982 (The same can be done with anything in 'mouse' if you keep the shift key | |
983 pressed while using the mouse.) | |
984 | |
985 Note: if you lose the 8th bit when pasting (special characters are translated | |
986 into other characters), you may have to do "stty cs8 -istrip -parenb" in your | |
987 shell before starting Vim. | |
988 | |
989 Thus in an xterm the shift and ctrl keys cannot be used with the mouse. Mouse | |
990 commands requiring the CTRL modifier can be simulated by typing the "g" key | |
991 before using the mouse: | |
992 "g<LeftMouse>" is "<C-LeftMouse> (jump to tag under mouse click) | |
993 "g<RightMouse>" is "<C-RightMouse> ("CTRL-T") | |
994 | |
995 *mouse-mode-table* *mouse-overview* | |
996 A short overview of what the mouse buttons do, when 'mousemodel' is "extend": | |
997 | |
998 Normal Mode: | |
999 event position selection change action ~ | |
1000 cursor window ~ | |
1001 <LeftMouse> yes end yes | |
1002 <C-LeftMouse> yes end yes "CTRL-]" (2) | |
1003 <S-LeftMouse> yes no change yes "*" (2) *<S-LeftMouse>* | |
1004 <LeftDrag> yes start or extend (1) no *<LeftDrag>* | |
1005 <LeftRelease> yes start or extend (1) no | |
1006 <MiddleMouse> yes if not active no put | |
1007 <MiddleMouse> yes if active no yank and put | |
1008 <RightMouse> yes start or extend yes | |
600 | 1009 <A-RightMouse> yes start or extend blockw. yes *<A-RightMouse>* |
7 | 1010 <S-RightMouse> yes no change yes "#" (2) *<S-RightMouse>* |
1011 <C-RightMouse> no no change no "CTRL-T" | |
1012 <RightDrag> yes extend no *<RightDrag>* | |
1013 <RightRelease> yes extend no *<RightRelease>* | |
1014 | |
1015 Insert or Replace Mode: | |
1016 event position selection change action ~ | |
1017 cursor window ~ | |
1018 <LeftMouse> yes (cannot be active) yes | |
1019 <C-LeftMouse> yes (cannot be active) yes "CTRL-O^]" (2) | |
1020 <S-LeftMouse> yes (cannot be active) yes "CTRL-O*" (2) | |
1021 <LeftDrag> yes start or extend (1) no like CTRL-O (1) | |
1022 <LeftRelease> yes start or extend (1) no like CTRL-O (1) | |
1023 <MiddleMouse> no (cannot be active) no put register | |
1024 <RightMouse> yes start or extend yes like CTRL-O | |
600 | 1025 <A-RightMouse> yes start or extend blockw. yes |
7 | 1026 <S-RightMouse> yes (cannot be active) yes "CTRL-O#" (2) |
1027 <C-RightMouse> no (cannot be active) no "CTRL-O CTRL-T" | |
1028 | |
1029 In a help window: | |
1030 event position selection change action ~ | |
1031 cursor window ~ | |
1032 <2-LeftMouse> yes (cannot be active) no "^]" (jump to help tag) | |
1033 | |
1034 When 'mousemodel' is "popup", these are different: | |
1035 | |
1036 Normal Mode: | |
1037 event position selection change action ~ | |
1038 cursor window ~ | |
1039 <S-LeftMouse> yes start or extend (1) no | |
600 | 1040 <A-LeftMouse> yes start or extend blockw. no *<A-LeftMouse>* |
7 | 1041 <RightMouse> no popup menu no |
1042 | |
1043 Insert or Replace Mode: | |
1044 event position selection change action ~ | |
1045 cursor window ~ | |
1046 <S-LeftMouse> yes start or extend (1) no like CTRL-O (1) | |
600 | 1047 <A-LeftMouse> yes start or extend blockw. no |
7 | 1048 <RightMouse> no popup menu no |
1049 | |
1050 (1) only if mouse pointer moved since press | |
1051 (2) only if click is in same buffer | |
1052 | |
1053 Clicking the left mouse button causes the cursor to be positioned. If the | |
1054 click is in another window that window is made the active window. When | |
1055 editing the command-line the cursor can only be positioned on the | |
1056 command-line. When in Insert mode Vim remains in Insert mode. If 'scrolloff' | |
1057 is set, and the cursor is positioned within 'scrolloff' lines from the window | |
1058 border, the text is scrolled. | |
1059 | |
1060 A selection can be started by pressing the left mouse button on the first | |
1061 character, moving the mouse to the last character, then releasing the mouse | |
1062 button. You will not always see the selection until you release the button, | |
18972 | 1063 only in some versions (GUI, Win32) will the dragging be shown immediately. |
1064 Note that you can make the text scroll by moving the mouse at least one | |
1065 character in the first/last line in the window when 'scrolloff' is non-zero. | |
7 | 1066 |
1067 In Normal, Visual and Select mode clicking the right mouse button causes the | |
1068 Visual area to be extended. When 'mousemodel' is "popup", the left button has | |
1069 to be used while keeping the shift key pressed. When clicking in a window | |
1070 which is editing another buffer, the Visual or Select mode is stopped. | |
1071 | |
600 | 1072 In Normal, Visual and Select mode clicking the right mouse button with the alt |
1121 | 1073 key pressed causes the Visual area to become blockwise. When 'mousemodel' is |
600 | 1074 "popup" the left button has to be used with the alt key. Note that this won't |
853 | 1075 work on systems where the window manager consumes the mouse events when the |
1076 alt key is pressed (it may move the window). | |
600 | 1077 |
7 | 1078 *double-click* |
18972 | 1079 Double, triple and quadruple clicks are supported when the GUI is active, for |
1080 Win32, and for an xterm (if the gettimeofday() function is available). For | |
1081 selecting text, extra clicks extend the selection: | |
7 | 1082 click select ~ |
1083 double word or % match *<2-LeftMouse>* | |
1084 triple line *<3-LeftMouse>* | |
1085 quadruple rectangular block *<4-LeftMouse>* | |
1086 Exception: In a Help window a double click jumps to help for the word that is | |
1087 clicked on. | |
1088 A double click on a word selects that word. 'iskeyword' is used to specify | |
1089 which characters are included in a word. A double click on a character | |
1090 that has a match selects until that match (like using "v%"). If the match is | |
1091 an #if/#else/#endif block, the selection becomes linewise. | |
19116 | 1092 For MS-Windows and xterm the time for double clicking can be set with the |
1093 'mousetime' option. For the other systems this time is defined outside of Vim. | |
7 | 1094 An example, for using a double click to jump to the tag under the cursor: > |
27903 | 1095 :map <2-LeftMouse> :exe "tag " .. expand("<cword>")<CR> |
7 | 1096 |
1097 Dragging the mouse with a double click (button-down, button-up, button-down | |
1098 and then drag) will result in whole words to be selected. This continues | |
1099 until the button is released, at which point the selection is per character | |
1100 again. | |
1101 | |
30967 | 1102 For scrolling with the mouse see |scroll-mouse-wheel|. |
1103 | |
7 | 1104 *gpm-mouse* |
1105 The GPM mouse is only supported when the |+mouse_gpm| feature was enabled at | |
1106 compile time. The GPM mouse driver (Linux console) does not support quadruple | |
1107 clicks. | |
1108 | |
1109 In Insert mode, when a selection is started, Vim goes into Normal mode | |
1110 temporarily. When Visual or Select mode ends, it returns to Insert mode. | |
1111 This is like using CTRL-O in Insert mode. Select mode is used when the | |
1112 'selectmode' option contains "mouse". | |
1621 | 1113 *sysmouse* |
1114 The sysmouse is only supported when the |+mouse_sysmouse| feature was enabled | |
1115 at compile time. The sysmouse driver (*BSD console) does not support keyboard | |
1116 modifiers. | |
7 | 1117 |
1118 *drag-status-line* | |
1119 When working with several windows, the size of the windows can be changed by | |
1120 dragging the status line with the mouse. Point the mouse at a status line, | |
1121 press the left button, move the mouse to the new position of the status line, | |
1122 release the button. Just clicking the mouse in a status line makes that window | |
1123 the current window, without moving the cursor. If by selecting a window it | |
1124 will change position or size, the dragging of the status line will look | |
1125 confusing, but it will work (just try it). | |
1126 | |
1127 *<MiddleRelease>* *<MiddleDrag>* | |
1128 Mouse clicks can be mapped. The codes for mouse clicks are: | |
1129 code mouse button normal action ~ | |
1130 <LeftMouse> left pressed set cursor position | |
1131 <LeftDrag> left moved while pressed extend selection | |
1132 <LeftRelease> left released set selection end | |
1133 <MiddleMouse> middle pressed paste text at cursor position | |
1134 <MiddleDrag> middle moved while pressed - | |
1135 <MiddleRelease> middle released - | |
1136 <RightMouse> right pressed extend selection | |
1137 <RightDrag> right moved while pressed extend selection | |
1138 <RightRelease> right released set selection end | |
1139 <X1Mouse> X1 button pressed - *X1Mouse* | |
1140 <X1Drag> X1 moved while pressed - *X1Drag* | |
1141 <X1Release> X1 button release - *X1Release* | |
1142 <X2Mouse> X2 button pressed - *X2Mouse* | |
1143 <X2Drag> X2 moved while pressed - *X2Drag* | |
1144 <X2Release> X2 button release - *X2Release* | |
1145 | |
1146 The X1 and X2 buttons refer to the extra buttons found on some mice. The | |
1147 'Microsoft Explorer' mouse has these buttons available to the right thumb. | |

1148 Currently X1 and X2 only work on Win32 and X11 environments. |
7 | 1149 |
1150 Examples: > | |
1151 :noremap <MiddleMouse> <LeftMouse><MiddleMouse> | |
1152 Paste at the position of the middle mouse button click (otherwise the paste | |
1153 would be done at the cursor position). > | |
1154 | |
1155 :noremap <LeftRelease> <LeftRelease>y | |
1156 Immediately yank the selection, when using Visual mode. | |
1157 | |
1158 Note the use of ":noremap" instead of "map" to avoid a recursive mapping. | |
