By refusing to build vim from sources you totally close the door
for some patch being developed (and included) based on your
requirement. Because (1) such patch must first be picked and tested by
the person for whom it is made (2) it might be an optional feature
which your packager decide to turn off. In which case you never see the
feature even if it was included into the vim spcifically for you. So it's
not going to happen.

I already understand you unacceptance of personal builds.
You justify it by "it doesn't help many users". Maybe. Maybe it's so.
My experience is different. Some users use pico, some used "visual
slick edit", some use nvi. Not everybody use vim to the same depth.


I can probably
find someone on the developers list for the vast majority of those other
1200 packages who says exactly the same thing about that package.


You're right that it's not sysadmin's job to compile things. It's developer's
jobs. And developers are accustomed to this.

The point that is confused, or missed here, is as follows:
The developer who has a problem with package X will *not* ask *you*
to build package X. (He might ask you to find the fixed binary package.
Or he'll build X from the sources himself (Under his $HOME).
I'm absolutely not missing this point. Being a developer and having
built myself 50% of various software I was using on Linux.)

Pretending that developer Y who has specific problem with package X
will demand that you, the sysadmin, will build X for him, is
intentionally fogging the things. He will never demand that sysadmin
build a package for him. (It's developer's job to build things, again. And
of course, truth being "it's developer's job to build things" serves you as
justification for your refusal to build things, including vim, at which point,
I'm convinced, you make error :-) )

Since you mention aliasing, I think the simplest solution to this 
would be:

alias vim="gvim -v"
 
That will give you a terminal-mode vim with all the X features that 
were compiled into your gvim.

The point you missed, assuming I was being absurd, is that I can probably
find someone on the developers list for the vast majority of those other
1200 packages who says exactly the same thing about that package.  We can
get it fixed in Fedora, and it helps a lot of users.

I recommend using packages wherever possible.  As compiling --with-x=yes
doesn't, in actuality, solve the problem I was having (that mouse support
acts differently than other applications), I don't see any justification
for building my own, locally-installed vim and tracking updates.

I wish you god luck waiting from Fedora packager.

I referred to the possibility of installing vim under $HOME/bin,

$HOME/bin/vim. The advantage is that it's built precisely to your
taste. Mucking with 1st build takes, maybe, 1/2 hour. Non-first build
is seconds of you net time (that if you package it into script as I did;
it's one command and then couple of minutes of background work).
I don't know  exactly how long it takes for changed Fedora package.
But I believe there is gain even in you net time.

If you know the exercise of (./configure

it's really easy. (It you don't, it's worth learning anyway.
For myself, I made a script that downloads the latest
vim-src.tgz and builds it all in one invocations exactly with
options I like. Rebuild takes 10 seconds of my net time).

I never come from this point back to stock-rpm-vim.

So, it gives you full control. Quick control. And you don't need to

Having an expert tune the packages for the general cases is probably going
to work much better on average than having the layman try to tune it
themselves.  A good package maintainer can make it so that a package fits
nearly everyone's needs.  I have submitted a suggestion to the Fedora
packager that they extend the "vim-x11" package to include not only "gvim",
but also "xvim", leaving the stock "vim" package being compiled with
--with-x=no.  This way you get the fairly minimal package in "vim-minimal",
and users who want vim on a server without X installed are happy.  And
users who want enhanced X capabilties can install "vim-x11" and get
enhanced functionality by calling (or aliasing) gvim or xvim.

Seems like a workable solution that will make everyones lives easier.

>yourself, why would they follow your preferences rather than, say,
>their own preferences ?

A packager is doing the packaging as a community service.  They rarely do
it to their own preferences.  If you are a Fedora packager, you almost
never get to consider only your own preferences.  This is why there is the
review process.

>Look like the pat of Sean Reifschneider's problem is that

No, my problem is that vim --with-x=no works identically to other
applications running in X terms.  However, it can't make use of the
extremely cool automatic "paste" function.  Configuring it so you get
automatic pasting causes it to act extremely differently than other xterm
applications.  --with-x=yes or --with-x=no doesn't matter.

The only thing that --with-x=yes fixes is that when you ":set mouse=a" in a
vim built --with-x=no, the pasted text comes from, I think, the 0 buffer
and not the X selection.

My understanding of this is that the problem is that when you ":set
mouse=a", it send the escape sequence to tell xterm to send mouse events.
So, instead of xterm sending the selection when you click the middle mouse
button, it sends a "Middle mouse button pressed" message.

Absolutely, the first N characters of your text may have been pasted
incorrectly if they have newlines or the like.  On a local machine, N could
be as small as 2 (over 100ms that would represent a typing speed of 600cps,
which is pretty snappy).

Obviously, it couldn't tell the difference between a high priority
process gobbling up a bunch of time while you're typing, a laggy network
line between you and vim, and probably other things, but it seems like a
lot of the time it would work great.

Again, this is like what's already what's implemented in other places in
vim, so there seems to be some evidence that it's a workable solution.

It would be ideal to do read-ahead and if you have a kilobyte of text
sitting there ready to read, it's probably a paste, but that gets you into
trouble the read-ahead includes ":sh".  Of course, some programs do discard
type-ahead text, so it wouldn't be unprecedented, but I agree it would be
nice not to.

I've read the help for mouse, selection, and all related things I could
find for hours over several weeks.  This isn't something that I've just
immediately said "Hey, someone else can fix it for me", I've spent probably
8 hours over the last month farting around with trying different things,
reading the available documentation, searching on google and the vim site,
before I ever posted on this list.

If you'd have read this thread nearly as carefully as you are expecting me
to have read the documentation, you would know that:

   The available settings in vim aren't cutting it for me.

   Yes there are workarounds, none idea, few acceptable, but my original
   point was...

   A new feature in vim would make it work extremely well, using the stock
   packages as built in Fedora Core and Ubuntu (neither builds --with-x=yes
   in the non-gvim version).

I never wanted anyone to help me with fixing it.  That's why I posted on
the dev list, not the users list.  I wanted to register and hopefully
discuss a feature request idea.  So far, nothing has been said that
invalidates the original feature request, the mouse in vim still acts
differently under an xterm than under non-vim applications.

>it's a pain because you're not used to it, but (1) it works like that in 
>every terminal-mouse-aware application

That's the saving grace is that if I get used to shift left drag to select,
it works in other applications.  If it didn't, and I had to spend cycles on
whether I'm in vim or not to do a selection, I would probably just live
with :set paste in vim when I need to do a paste.  Converting over to
shift-left drag is doable.

Still, it would be ideal if it just did what all the other applications do
in an xterm.

>and (2) you can disable mouse in vim if you don't like it.

Obviously.  Then I lose the goodness of pastes being handled properly, but
I've lived with it that way for 20 years, I can probably continue to do so.

>hence the read the damn manual thing:

You absolutely misunderstood what I said.  Read the damn reply.  :-)  I
know that pastetoggle can be used to map F4 to toggle paste.  That's why I
said I'm not much of a keymapping person and explained that I'd rather type
":set paste", than hunt around for F4.  I can use my mouse to paste while
remaining on home row, but F4 breaks my flow more.

>ui again. if that's not a shortcut, then bit me.

Consider yourself bitten.  :-P

Again, I'm not looking for a shortcut, I have a way that it could just
work, but no time to implement it.

BTW: The problem with your shortcut above is that it assumes that I didn't
type anything in insert mode other than pasting the text.  Often, my
pattern is that I type out some stuff, then have something to paste, and
undo may do significantly more than just the paste.

Is it possible for us to go back to that original discussion, about setting
paste in non-X mode, and avoid the misplaced winging about RTFM?  I
understand it can be frustrating when you think someone has not read the
basic documentation, but in this case that is absolutely wrong.
Admittedly, I don't know that I'd read about pastetoggle until I saw your
original suggestion, but if I haven't read the documentation enough then
the documentation is _BROKEN_.

The ideal solution for me would be to detect more than X characters
received during the last, say, 100ms, and turn on paste then.

However, I have rebuilt the Fedora Core 6 test 1 RPMs --with-x=yes, and
that's a workable solution.  It's still annoying how clicking and selecting
text causes vim to move my cursor around and requires me to press escape
when I'm done selecting.  But I can try to remember to shift-select, which
works as I'd like.  A pain, but workable and gives me proper pasting.

I've submitted a but against FC6 core suggesting that they either build the
non-gvim version with X enabled, or provide a third option in the vim-x11
package like "xvim", which is text mode but with X enabled.

>what you are searching for is :
>:he pastetoggle

Not really, but thanks for the pointer.  I'm not much of a key mapping
person.  Typing ":set paste" or ":set nopaste" is no terrible burden, so
that's what I used to do when I had to paste indented text.

In fact, it looks like this is already implemented for "timeout" and

Interesting idea.  I'll have to play with it, but I suspect that it'll
still suffer from "pasted data comes from another dimension".  This latter
problem may be because of a lacking build option in the Fedora build.

I believe that's what vim does when you do "set mouse".  I would like to be
able to do that when I do not have "set mouse", based on number of
characters in the input buffer, or characters read in the last 100ms or
something.


It's interesting idea to detect paste from mouse when 'set mouse' is
empty based on the size of typeahead buffer. I don't want to
disappoint you. But I believe there is no possibility to automatically
do something based on number of character in the input buffer.

It would probably be useful to tell vim to react only to
MiddleMouse and ignore all other mouse events. This might be
possible by setting 'set mouse=' to nonempty and then redefining
all mouse events except  to s. This might
lead you to what you want. To see mouse events that you'll
need to redefine: :help <*Mouse

If you insist on having 'set mouse' empty, then I believe
you're left with one of the following:

1) just ':set paste', or
2) :set nocindent indentexpr= indentkeys= nosmartindent=
3) or some mapping like map  :set paste!
or some one-key mapping to (2)

I personally use (2): absolutely no autoindenting.

Even with "" in the second line, it's not doing anything that

Probably because for it to work in insert mode you would need to do "set
mouse=i".  However, as I explained originally, "set mouse" totally changes
the way paste works from other applications in an xterm, including, you
know, not pasting the text I've selected but some other text that came from
I know not where.

So, my original suggestion stands: Make it so that when vim detects a bunch
of data arriving quickly, it sets paste.

That doesn't seem to do the job.  I'm not quite sure what you're trying to
accomplish here, so I can't tell where it's going wrong.


There should be a  in the second line as well, of course.
Anyway, how about

 set mouse=a ttymouse=xterm

?  That certainly does something on my terminal.  I can't get it to
work correctly in insert mode for some reason, but I really don't care
so I'm leaving it at this.

I believe that's what vim does when you do "set mouse".  I would like to be
able to do that when I do not have "set mouse", based on number of
characters in the input buffer, or characters read in the last 100ms or
something.


OK, so here's what you do:


>:map  :set paste"*p:set nopaste


and

 :inoremap set paste*set nopaste
