Hmm, I am negative, in this patch.
I think that new users tend to use the mouse.
Cursor movement with the mouse, and 'scrolloff' option of the combination
confuse a new user.
(on GVim, and on CLI with 'set mouse=a')
(default.vim already contained 'set mouse=a')
Sample:
- Rename your .vimrc (Order to use the default.vim)
$ mv ~/.vimrc ~/.vimrc.orig
- Start GVim
$ gvim
- Display help.
:help
- Go to half percentage in the help file.
50%
- Cursor move to line 6 of window. (adjusted for 'scrolloff')
H
- Click top line of window by mouse.
Behavior:
- Click the line will be moved to the line 6.
I think this behavior confuse a new user.
I think it is better not to include the whimsy in the default.vim.
How do you think?
