This group seems to be used mostly by programmers, but there doesn't appear to be another group for user questions. I'm using MacVim on Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on a MacBook Air (i.e. with a trackpad not a mouse) and am having trouble moving the cursor to a particular point in a text without selecting something (a character, a few characters, a word, a paragraph). Is there anyway to disable the feature of MacVim that allows non-vi selection of text? I would like to be able to alternate between command mode and insert mode and never have the in-between mode that allows mouse/trackpad selection of text. I hope I've made my problem clear. (I'm an old Unix user and prefer to use the yank and delete commands anyway in vi.) Many thanks and apologies for using this group for a question that is a non-programming or compiling matter. Chet C.
P.S. I didn't have this problem with the old vvim / MacVim on OS 10.5.8, but the binary I used won't run on the Macbook Air processor. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
