In recents decades it is more common to use:

-Y  Enables trusted X11 forwarding. Trusted X11 forwardings are not
subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls.

It may be that the 'mouse' option is not set on your Ubuntu vim when
using ssh.  Try

:set mouse=a

and see if that works.  If not, then check that the version of vim
on Ubuntu supports the mouse.  Execute

:version

and check that it is not the tiny or small version and that +mouse
and not -mouse appears in the list of features.  I know that
Ubuntu's standard vim does not support X, but other than that,
I don't know what Ubuntu vim package supports what.  I always
install vim-gtk so I have everything.

Regards,
Gary

That's the problem. It's not doing it for me on vim on the cygwin xterm, nor on 
a connection to an ubuntu server through cygwin mintty. I have gvim for 
windows, and that works perfectly. But, when I use the cygwin terminal, and an 
ssh'ed connection to ubuntu, the mouse does not work. I will try to see what 
are my .vimrc settings for Windows, cygwin and ubuntu and try to match it. I 
may need to join the vim email support. Thanks.

If I select columns or lines in vim, then the statusline at the bottom of the 
window shows the number of columns or lines selected before the cursor line and 
column numbers and percentage thru the file, or the modeline if multiple windows 
are visible e.g.


-- SELECT --4   7,2 All
or
-- SELECT --4

mintty mouse behavior with vim

[Jose Isaias Cabrera via Cygwin]

Greetings.

In mintty, while using vim, I would like to highlight a few lines, and have vim 
tell me how many lines have been highlighted. Is this a possibility? For 
example:

0
1
->2
->3
->4
->5
6
7
8
9

If I highlight lines 2 through 5, I would like vim to tell me that 4 lines have 
been highlighted. It works fine with the windows vim, but it does not want to 
do it through mintty. Thoughts? Thanks.

José

PS: The real problem is that I am ssh'ing to an ubuntu box which I am using 
vim, but the mouse is not being acknowledged. Although, I can highlight and 
copy/paste, but clicking to a word to move the cursor there, it's not 
acknowledged.

Hippos! https://cygwin.com/goldstars/

cygwin/X shown onlay a blank screen

[Nico Hoffmann via Cygwin]

hello,

I did a cygwin installation on my employers laptop and have issues
with cygwin/X

Xwin with xfce starts and opens a window, but without any content. It
is only light grey and does not react on any mouse clicks.

The windows task manager however shows that Xwin/xfce is running and
that also some related programms are running (xinit, xfwm4,
xfsettingsd, xfdesktop, ...), but they are not visible and not
usable. See a screenshot at


I checked some logs, but I found no hint what is going on there.  See
,
,
.

If I start a fvwm2 session (this is my usual window manager), the same
problem shows up.

Since I found no helpful error message, I don't know how to get Xwin
working. All hints are welcome!

Regards,

N.
