Hello,
I observe 2 different behaviours of vi that I cannot explain.
2 different machines, same distribution
On one machine when I underline some text with the mouse (not in append
mode), vi turns to a VISUAL mode, and not in the other machine.
Actually, I hate the VISUAL mode!
I recently had a similar experience after I finished upgrading to F25 (vim
version 8.x); several pices of guidence were given to me on this list,
including editing the .vimrc file.
As yet, I haven't edited the .vimrc file.
Instead, I either start vi in the following way:
vi -C <somefilename>
(see vi --help for the explanations)
or if I have already started using vi with a particular file, I issue the
following command:
:set mouse=
I seem to have more success w/ the former than the latter (YMMV).
