The problem is that the old way of crap-disabling does not work here. I can perform in the vim session :set mouse= and verify that the setting is in effect, as far as "set" is concerned: :set mouse? shows in the base line: mouse= But the behavior is still not mouse agnostic (where mouse paste = keyboard strokes). For verification of my old vim knowledge i ask for full GUI: :set mouse=a Then ":set mouse?" yields mouse=a "mouse=a" is handcopied, because one cannot copy and paste that text. I fully agree that vim GUI mousing is annoying, obtrusive, capricious, counterintuitive, ... wheeze ... cough ... I can write "set mouse=..." lines into my ~/.vimrc and their effect shows up with ":set mouse?" in the vim session. But the effect on mouse pasting just switches between two undesirable modes.

I tried the proposals, nevertheless, and they did not help. Have a nice day :) Thomas
