vi

[Patrick Dupre]

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!

Thank for your help.

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).

Creating an empty "~/.vimrc" overrides
"/usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim", which has "set mouse=a".

[Patrick Dupre]

Actually, I do not think that it is an issue with vim.
Any of my machines has a .vimrc file and one has a wrong behavior.
However, if I connect through a ssh -X gnome-terminal session to the machine
showing an unexpected behavior (VISUAL), vi just behave normally while 
when I log in front of the machine I get the unexpected behavior.

Thus, it is probably an issue with gnome-terminal or gnome.

Regards.

Have you compared the files from different machines?

It also changed for me to visual since one of the vim upgrades. Currently
fixed it with:
set mouse=c
in .vimrc, c is command line mode
