One of the things that really, really annoys me when I get lazy and use a pre-bundled set of (neo)vim plugins is how every one of them uses mouse functionality. I only use the mouse to copy/paste from the terminal to system clipboard. I don't want it hijacking him and entering visual mode.
does this suggest that copy/paste from the terminal is broken by design and we need find a better way?
Vim has a better way, it's called
:set clipboard=unnamedplus(alternatively, one can bind anything else to copy/paste to/from system cliboards). Not sure why would one use a mouse for this, honestlyI think if you want to copy a specific selection to a mouse-based, different program then it makes sense to use the mouse for precision selection.
